I agree with Rob completely. Comparing a food plot (or agricultural field) to a pile of bait CAN'T be done. Not even close. Yes, they both are something for the deer to eat, but that is about as close as it gets. There is also a difference between putting something out to feed deer, and setting up over it to kill a deer. I don't care if you bait - if its legal and it floats your boat...go for it. Personally I'd quit hunting before I'd hunt over a pile of corn or apples. Poll is too vague, and argument too big.
I hunt over my food plot to kill something, Seems like the same as setting up over a baitpile, deer come, eat and hopefully get killed! What's the difference???
BHF...seriously? There is no comparison. Yes, you can hunt over a food plot and kill deer....no doubt. BUT...the big difference is you have to get them within range. A bait pile automatically puts them within range.
