My issue with this subject is that bait/feeders/foodplots (or whatever the trendy word is at the time) artificially change thenatural feeding habits, movements, and available nutrition of whitetails in a particular area.
To me, the line; "attract and hold more deeron your property" is a pretty weak motto to have.
Why aren't some people just happy with what occurs naturally?
You mean like planted crop fields? Those aren't natural either.
There are very few parts of the country where you can even go and see a natural environment. AK is about it. I just don't seem to understand why you would think it is odd to want to better the habitat and available nutrients to the deer herd and other wildlife. So, do younot likeyour local DNR or DOW for doing the same things on public lands?
