RE: baiting
Let me add this because I find it very interesting. I have 60 acres that I've hunted for the past 5 years. My herd there would average between 10 to 13 does per a sit or glassing pre season. The adjacent land got leased to a hunting party 3 years ago, this should be good right(pressure)? I've seen a total of 8 deer on that 60 acres this season. I done some research ("trespassing"as it's not posted)and the adjacent land owners have put out un Godly amounts of corn/bait sitesand they have harvested some nice deer. They have a stand around every corner with a fresh corn at all times. I can't/not gonna compete with that. Call'm lazy/slobs or whatever, but they have concentrated most if not all the deer in the area to their parcel.
