RE: plots/baiting
Planting is Not baiting. If it were, then all of the wildlife deps. that plant millet on public hunting land for waterfowl are the biggest violators.
For everyone who decries food plots or baiting, where do you hunt? In an asphalt parking lot?
Here's one for you to ponder. If I planted an oak tree 25 years ago and now hunt under it, is it baiting?
