As a general rule, people who hunt in states where baiting is illegal are against people using bait where it is legal. It seems to be sort of a jealousy issue.
not a jealousy issue for me, more like a "lazy" issue. us that do not bait spend countless hours in the woods patterning deer, cutting trails, scouting, practicing with scents and calls, etc. when you bait (ex. corn feeders) you just find a well used area and set up camp. all you do is stare at the feeder and wait for the deer to come into eat. plus corn has no nutritional value to the deer. but hey, if it's legal in your area go for it. it's just not my cup of tea, i prefer to earn my deer.
I spend countless hours in the woods too. Actually i cant think of a weekend that goes by almost all year that i dont go to the woods. So I put in my time too. FYI- i usually hunt acorns too, i just 'supplement' with corn. It is more of having the advantage everyone else uses, I could hunt without it if everyone else in our club did also. We tried to vote outlaw using corn out in our club last year, and it didnt pass.The corn really hurts our doghunting success.
