I just don't see how calling dumping corn on the ground and growing plants are the same thing. To me a pile of corn dumped from a bucket is not a natural food source. A corn field although planted by a farmer or as a food plot is a growing plant. Also oak trees and even apple trees are growing and there for part of nature. They grow there and they drop their fruit there.

That being said I do NOT have a problem with those who hunt over bait piles. I do hunt in the CWD areas of WI and it is not legal to do any baiting of any kind anymore. I have one area where I used to put out mineral blocks (before it was banned). I have a trail camera set there but I do not (and have not ever) hunt anywhere withing 100 yards of it. I also have noticed that I get lots of pics in April and May of deer at the spot. As the summer goes on most of the pictures are of deer just walking by not stopping.
