Default RE: Baiting

Not that my opinion really matters. But. I keep feeders Full of corn in the off season. i have come to find that the deer will use my feeders if they need it. If they dont they wont. if we have a good acorn crop which we have in the past 3 years,,,the deer hardly touch it. ( the squirells give it heck tho) I quit feeding about 2 months before the Pa. deer season opens. I have yet to find deer searching for corn at any time during the hunting season. but,,this topic has me wonderin if i am a sportsmanslike hunter or an unsportsmenslike hunter due to the fact that i have baited deer & i probably will in the future. I see nothing wrong with it! I dont go out all fall & shoot deer off the light, I spend alot of time each year searching for the perfect treestand placement & i think that if a deer stops to get a little nibble of something while im preparing to make a shot in a clear opening more power to me,,,im gonna have the time to get a good clean kill shot & im not gonna be lookin in the next county for a deer with an arrow half broken off inside it. like i said thats just my opinion & im sure that i'll get plenty of criticism for bein honest but thats just me.

have a nice day
Mike
