RE: Do you hunt over Bait?
I just get a kick out of people who say that they don't hunt over bait, yet plant food plots on their property. Food plots won't guarantee that deer will come to you(neither will feeders spitting out corn), but you ARE trying to attract deer with either method so technically it should be considered baiting. In my home state baiting is illegal, yet you can plant food plots and hunt your heart out over them. It really doesn't make much sense. I know people try to justify it by saying they are just supplementing the deers food supply with food plots, but in my opinion deer really shouldn't be fed by man. They are wild animals and should fend for themselves. If they come to feed at a cornfield or something it's one thing, but in most cases that corn was not put out there only for the deer to feed at. I am not saying here that baiting is wrong or should be illegal, but I just think that food plots and any other form of baiting are really one and the same and should be viewed as the same by hunters and state game departments.
