This topic brings out the beast in the deerhunting forum.

I thought I would ask it here because I feel most of you think the same way I do. At least I think I do. I do agree if a state allows it its up to the hunter to choose. Here in MN it is illegal and I hope it stays that way.

One thing that is brought up in the deerhunting forum is baiters bring up the arguement that it is not any different than hunting over a food plot, apple trees, oaks or corn feilds. I tend to disagree with this. These are choices the deer can make to feed on what comes from the earth at that particular spot. Unlike food being placed in a location to hopefully give a hunter a shot.

I am sure many of you agree that have worked food plots that our work is harder than just placing food. Do we also get the satisfaction that we are providing a food source that helps boost the nutrition of the local deer?

I had 4 deer pass over my food plots within shooting range and chose to pull back my bow on one of them. Never released the arrow because the shot wasn' t there.
I feel baiters would never be this selective........
