Or, the deer may start to equate bait piles to danger and skirt around them. BIG BUCKS often times don't hit bait piles, or do so well after dark, from what I understand and I know a few people who bait here in OH, but the rest of us HUNT!!!!
Doesn't take long!
I say that with some sarcasm, but seriously, if all you had to do is ride your quad by your feeder a couple times a week and throw a 50# bag of corn in it, then when season comes climb into a stand and shoot your deer of choice, doesn't that take some of the "HUNT" out of it.
I suppose you mean a doe....because you've already established big bucks won't come to it.
I don't mean this in a bad way.....but I'm guessing "other" hunters don't give a flip about what YOU (or I) consider "hunting" or not. Nor should they.
