Default RE: Baiting

In the past I've used baiting. I would use corn to fatten them up before the slaughter just like they do the steer before they kill them. Steer graze on grass up until the last three months. The corn will sweeten the meat. I didn't buy a big feeder I just dumped the bag on the ground. One time I was up to 2-3 a week.

I no longer bother because I don't hunt my property anymore. I don't have the time and don't care for eating deer anymore. I let who ever wants to hunt it kill what ever they want. I have been noticing some big tracks, maybe I need to scout here and see if it's worth my while.

Don't sweat the nay sayers. Baiting is very ethical. You can only shoot a few deer but you help a whole bunch.
