RE: OK Guys it's DEBATE time....
I could care less if others bait or not. I know I don't allow it on my land for two reasons. I have personally seen better deer since it has not been allowed. Also I put all the time and money for the food plots I would rather those were hunted and used. I know results may very at bait piles and I know some big bucks have been killed at bait pile I just haven't seen it out by me.
I think baiting can be a very effective means of hunting but there are others and for me it really is just personal preference.
Is there really a difference between hunting food plots or a corn pile. Maybe not directly but I get a little more satifactionknowing I put all that hard work in to grow a plot and it paid off. Notthat same as dumping a bucket of corn for me.
