Good post GMMAT,I do have to somewhat agree with you on the part of deer becoming skitish. Deer do know htat corn does not belong in the woods and hey it wsant there all summer or winte, whys it there now???hmmm??? Not only that, too much bait, or feeders may and will causse deer to go noctournal. I have seen this over and over. This is why when I do use bait, which is very seldom anymore, I use it more as a treat for the deer than a drawing tool. Sure baiting is one of the best management tools we have, but we can accomplish the same thing by simply scouting an area, putting out cams in possible hot spots, planting food plots,and practicing simple patience. The buck I harvested last bow season was taken with only the aid of the Buck Growl. I was in the right spot at the right time and was proud to harvest such a great deer with nothing but skill, patience, and the know how. I think we can all achieve this as long as we set our minds to it. In a world where disease is slowly taken over our herds, do we really need to contribute to it? Yes I use to bait alot, and still do from time to time, but its not on a pile and heck you can hardley notice it if you walk into the woods as it is scattered around. Just my 2 cents.
