Jeff, without these readily available food sources how many deer would you think there would be today? Are there more deer now or in the days of Daniel Boone? Even with habitat diminishing by the hour the deer herd countinues to grow.
An artificial food source (Bait) is something placed by someone for the benefit of attracting something else.
Corn, soy, apple orchards..whatever, were not put there to attract anything. they are a lively hood for someone. If you grow something to not harvest it and only attract game then yes, I'll buy it as artificial. A Food Plot for example.
I still have nothing against the practice of baiting if legal or food plots or what have you..but your logic and the "GMMAT spin" are what I take exception too!
That Oak tree your hunting under did someone plant it or did the acorn fall and naturally sprout?? I mean come on..
Amen Bob!!!!!!!!! Well said.
