Ok before we go n/e further with this we dont hunt OVER the bait ,and here in N.C. we are in the middle of the worst drought in 60 yrs. they are no crops, no big green pastures ,and no acorns what so ever , plus it's against the law 2 hunt directly over a bait pile here as well , you have to be at least 200 yds. from n/e bait PILE ,and another thing is Ithink baiting deer or feeding them is better than the deer running off and dieing from starvation
during the up and coming winter , im sure they alot more deer eat at BAIT PILES then what are killed as well .
