If I am not mistaken the study that GMMAT is talking about was done because of the split in the SC laws on baiting. As I stated in my earlier post that it seems everyone ignored. You can not bait in the upper state of SC, but you can in the lower state. The numbers also prove that there is no advantages of baiting. The upper state where baiting is illegal actually kills more deer per hunter than the lower state where baiting is legal. If I can remember right thats why the study was conducted because the upper state hunters were saying that the lower state had an unfair advantage.
What's the deer demographics in SC?
For instance, if a state carriedthe better partof it's Whitetail populationin the upper portion of the state then even with baiting the lower half still wouldn't come close in numbers killed.
