I used to put corn out in front of my cameras all the time. I ended up stopping for a bunch of reasons.

Alot (actually, most) of my friends hunt over bait. And i give them a hard time but its all for fun, im not going to tell you that a legal hunting method is wrong. I personally don't do it though. I take pride in the way i hunt, but its only for personal satisfaction.........

.......One of the main reason i find hunting over bait so irksome is the fact that a 9 year old kid or a 68 year old man with ZERO experience or hunting ability could set up on one and kill a booner buck. Which does happen, ALOT, here in Ohio. Then you have to hear everyone and their brother saying how awesome of a hunter that person is for the next 5 years. Is the person a good hunter, hell no. Are they lucky and in the right place at the right time? Yes, and i understand it could happen to anybody in any hunting situation. But something in that picture just bothers me. Ive been confronted by these people hundreds of times, and they all laugh at how i don't kill monster bucks like they do. But truth be told, if you told them that they couldn't hunt over bait then they would just stop hunting altogether, because they would never see a deer and get bored after 2 hours. I take pride in my ability to set up on deer and take does and pass on multiple bucks a year without bait. Thats just my personal feeling. Am i a good hunter? Not at all. Ive only been doing this seriously for 3 years, but do i think im better then the bait guys, most definitely. (And i understand that thier is different reasons for baiting...i direct this to the "weekend warriors" who dont even know what the word scouting or planning mean, besides riding the ATV to the feeder with a bucket of corn).


Once again, this is only how i feel about the matter, and its not meant to offend anybody. I like to dish out my opinion on certain matters when i have a chance.
