im just casting my 2 cents. My baiting consists of mineral licks and feeders. Some of my properties i am able to plant food plots to sustain the deer, help them grow through in the spring and food for them to get through the winter. But some of the areas i hunt, planting a food plot isnt an option, either not accessible or wont grow anything-pure sand. I dont use baiting as a way of hunting, i use it to help the deer grow, and be healthy. My land were i can plant food plots i dont use mineral licks or feeders, thats what the plots are for. but the lands that i cant put in food plots i had mineral licks out for spring and summer growth and feeders for food in the winter. I dont hunt these sights, but in the past 3 years since i have started this i have noticed dramatic differences in the quality and the size of the deer. I am not a if its brown its down hunter and will glady take does over small bucks. so i think allot of hunters with this perspective are gonna get screwed by this.
