My opinion has always been when hunting over baits that you areenticing the animal to a specific area.
Ok, and so does foot plots, ponds, ag. fields, thick cover, the list goes on and on.
It ups the hunters odds no doubt in most cases.
I find that hard to believe, I'd actually love to see some statistics on that.
The animals become more relaxed in most cases at these bait stations because they become somewhat use to the scent of man and except the scent at the bait station as it has become something normal to the area. In some cases they even begin to accept the presence of man coming and going to the area to fill these stations.
I don't buy that one bit. Where do you think they're going to be more relaxed, a food plot planted months before the season, or a pile of corn thrown out days earlier?
It also takes away the need for prescouting and putting in a little more effort by the hunter to meet the animal on its own grounds, not something that is artifically set up by man in the form of easy feed. Thus the way I come up with a lazy way to hunt.
Not at all. You still need to be in the right area. Food plots, ag. fields, and thick cover created by man are all artificially set up by man. They must be lazy too.
I love to hunt,love the challenge in it. The challenge being someof the biggest reward to me,knowing I put in my homework for the ultimate reward. Notjust going out and setting up a bait station, enticing the animals toan area, letting themget somewhat used to man's presense there also and then setting up over the station. That isn't my way.
You can still do your homework and bait. Wait no, everyone has to hunt the way you do
