RE: baiting deer
As long as it's legal in your area I see nothing wrong with it. I feed corn from July until green up sometime in late March when the deer need the extra carbs. Trophy hunting over corn for the most part is a waste of time. A mature buck is not very likely to eat corn in a baited area during legal shooting hours. Our club does however use bait to help control the doe population but like BadSotBob said, if I'm trophy hunting I get away from the corn. When we need to harvest does to keep the population in balance we sit over the corn.
