RE: My thoughts on hunting over a bait pile.
I agree. When I used to hunt in Oklahoma where baiting is illegal, we always used food plots. Now that I hunt in Texas I use a feeder on my lease which is located 419 miles from my front door here in Houston. I really don' t see any difference in the methods, and I doubt I could grow much of a food plot on my lease; it is 6,000 acres and the only water on the place is from 3 windmills.
