When I place out bait, I place it out as a treat. Im not the kind of baiter that has to have it on stand all the time and its NEVER in a pile, Its scattered around so the deer have to find it. Just like acorns or other food sources. Last year I think I used maybe 2-3 coffee cans full of corn during the 3-4 months of bow season. Like I mentioned earleir, I use it as a treat. I guess im not a cheater in a treater.
Wis Bow Huntr, We are probably wasting time on this debate! No ones minds will be changed by it! I would not say the anti-baiters are jeleous, but they are closed minded to something many of them probably don't fully understand!
Like I've said before,
1.I don't use bait "piles," and don't know of others that pile bait up either!
2. Bait is not a "majic magnet!"
Maybe where they are, the deer would be hungry enough to "run to it," but certainly not here! They
do not go out of their way to come to a little corn!
A lot of my baiting is like WBH says, a little corn spread out over a trail, that is a narrow lane, where I want them to stop, for a good shot! Again, this is
WHERE THEY ARE ALREADY TRAVELING, THEY ARE NOT GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY TO GET TO THE BAIT!
I know that this will probably fall on deaf ears, so its the last I'll post about it!
LEGAL=CHOICE, ILLEGAL= NO CHOICE!
