What's the difference in hunting over a food plot you planted, hunting over a clump of white oaks that are dropping acorns, or hunting over corn. Poring out corn is no different than planting a food plot and hunting over it. Deer change their patterns to the specific food source. If a certain group of white oaks quit producing , the deer are going to find the next group that is producing. Being able to harvest more deer because of bait is helpful in controlling the deer population. IMHO
