RE: baiting
I hunt an overgrown pear orchard during the early season. That is without a doubt the most difficult place to kill a deer that I've ever hunted. Pears on the ground and the trees EVERYWHERE. You think you've got them patterned and the deer decide to eat on the other end of the property. This is 55 acres of hunting heaven, or so it appears. I've killed 3 deer there in the last 17 years. Very tough hunting. Maybe if I had a bag of corn....[8D]
