RE: Feeding Deer Now Illegal
If you are in an area where the deer are not being fed, or baited, it is much easier and much more enjoyable to hunt them au naturale. But, as I found out in SC, if you are hunting deer that are being fed everywhere else, there is little incentive for them to hang around where you are at, unless there is food about (read: corn piles). Now, this doesn't apply when the acorns fall, but with the massive #s of deer, and the turkeys and squirrels and wood ducks, the acorns are gone within two or three weeks. Once the crops are cut, deer are looking for corn piles, and if you aren't baiting or running dogs, its usually luck if you kill a deer. And half the time, they are heading for a corn pile and you just got in their way!
