Default RE: Food plot versus Baiting....

Good Topic.

I have no feeling eather way. There are points for both sides.

This debate also seams to be the land owner VS. the public land hunter.
Or country dwellers VS. city dwellers, Some people can walk to there hunting woods after work every day, others must drive 3 hours or more.
I feel very fortunate to have had 3 fingers cut off and a toe removed in an industrial accident which alowed me to buy land with the insurance money. Now I can start a food plot. Others may not be so lucky.

What about running a feeder that spreads a 1/2 gal. of food pellets very day( 365 day a year). Not enough to feed the deer but offer a snack. We have done this in the past and not hunted near the feeder.
We have since taken down the feeder and are planting the food plot in the same field this weekend.

What about handicaped hunters? I think most would love to practice better woodsmanship if they could, Can they use Bait?

I don' t care for the unlimited baiting or truck loads of corn being hauled to the woods the night before opening. But would have no problume with a 1-2 gal. bait limit.
I plan to do food plots and inprove my land for wild life habitate.

That' s my $0.02 worth.
