Rybo I posted a thread a while back RE: baiting in SC and the success rate of people hunting over bait v. NOT hunting over bait. I can re-post the results for those who thinks hunting over bait is such a huge advantage.

Maybe the guy you describe above doesn't have the luxury of planting a crop field? Doesn't own the land to be able to do so? What's the difference in a 1/2 acre food plot and a spread feeder?

Let's just be honest when we discuss these things and leave misconceptions and conjecture out of it. Will bait draw in deer? Sure! Will ag fields? Sure! Food plots? Sure! Recurring theme? Sure!
