As I said stretch...I guess the biologist, and now that you metion it...the whole DEC dept, really don't know much about these whitetails.
To think that they would seesome difference between hunting over a 2,650,000 sq ft food plot, and hunting over a 100 sq ft bait pile really leaves me dumbfounded as to their stupidity....
Anyone can plainly see how the two situations are nearly identical!
What differencecould there be inshooting over one food plot that is 3 yds long, or another one that is 580 yds long?
Heck 580 yds is a chip shot with my bow and a real piece of cake with my shotguns/muzzleloaders. I must admit though, I did miss once with my rifle at that distance....but hey...rifles aren't even legal where I hunt so that is no big deal, I'll just stick to those chip shots with the bow..
All in good fun....JC
You been taking bow leasons from NY Bowhunter? Don`t worry JC I`m looking for more land so i can plant 60 acres or more So I won`t be considered a baiter. Plus when I fish this spring no dam worms on my hook just some clover, I heard it`s better for the fish.
I really don`t think this thread will ever be settled. If 'Baiting" is legal in your area then do what you like. If "baiting" is illegal then plant food plots. I really don`t care how anyone does it as long as you get out there and hunt. Feel free and enjoy the outdoors.
