I know Jeff, I was just trying to help people make the connection that a food source is a food source, whether it was planted there for someone to make a living from, planted there specifically to attract deer, grew from a single acorn 30 years prior, or was purchased at the local feed mill and dumped out.

I think people need to look at broader pictures when discussing baiting. Obviously is the disease thing. But then also some should realize, when EVERY tree over the course of a property is dumping acorns, it is 10x harder to figure out the deer compared to when 1 or 2 localized areas are producing. So if a situation came about where EVERYONE was baiting, food is plentiful, deer don’t have to move much or compete, works in reverse for the hunter.
