I more thing I want to add to this thread. In a state where baiting is legal and the surrounding properties bait, and you don't I hope that you have a plan "B". I leased some property here in Louisiana, and I talked to the neighboring leases and the one lease next to me told me that I would be just wasting my time putting out feeders, that the deer won't even hit them. So I told them that I was going to establish some food plots too, and they said the soil was no good to plant in that they tried it and it was just a waste of time and money. Having a suspicion on his intents I took a walk over to that lease just before the season, and wouldn't you know it every box stand that I saw had all the trails planted in rye grass, and they each had a 55 gallon drum feeder full of corn. Down here a good rule of thumb is who ever has the most corn has the most deer. This is disheartening but true. The problem with down here is that it stays so green for so long (good for the deer, but hard for the hunter in more ways than one). I would bet that most on this board would agree that it is difficult to pattern deer to their natural browse to in the attempt to gain a successful harvest on a mature animal. I am not talking about oak trees when they are dropping their fruit, or any kind of crops, which unless the deer eat sugar cane, we don't have many. In each state population densities are different, and terrain is different, and available food sources are different, so of course opinions are different, as well as hunting strategies. I have been to Michigan and have seen Turkey and deer all over the place, I also went to Tennessee, and saw the same thing. We don't have that kind of luxury over here. So there are different strategies for different types of hunting over a wide range of places, and it doesn't mean one is right or wrong. As long as you harvest an animal for the purposing of supplying meat for you and your family in a LEGAL manor the means are very insignificant, it's the end result that counts.
