I just don't feel that it's ethical to put out a pile of corn that can in no occur naturally in the environment
Do you hunt indigenous ag fields?

So the difference in a corn field and a bait pile is the size of the pile?

I have never seen an idigenous corn field. A farmer has always planted the ones I've seen.

I'd also say that there is quite a bit of difference between a 40 acre corn field and a bait pile.

A corn field is usually planted for grain to provide feed for domestic animals.

A bait pile is planted to attract deer so they can be shot.

A bait pile will concentrate deer within range of the hunter.

A corn field may or may not concentrate deer within range of the hunter.

If you are referencing the corn field as a food plot provided for deer. Again, it may or may not attract deer with range of the hunter. If it is small enough it will increase the odds for the hunter to have a deer within range. Therefore.......Yes ..... the difference between a food plot and a bait pile is the size. The bait pile will afford the hunter the greatest chance at having a deer come into range.

The bait pile will not offer the deer any lasting nutritional value after the season as the food plot would either. Food plot = dual purpose.... Bait pile= single purpose.
