I use scents and calls dont get me wrong but i am against high powered rifles. I mean whats the fun shooting at a deer half a mile away? :eek:

RE: Do you think hunting over baited corn is right?
 

so you just kill deer going to corn rather than hunt right on it lol

RE: Do you think hunting over baited corn is right?
 

I agree moose. Their is absolutely no difference between a pile of corn and a food plot, deer scent, grunt tube, or rattling antlers. It is simply another tool some people can utilize. If we could use rifles here in Illinois, I would never have a year of not filling my tags. I have no problem with any method being used that the state allows. It really is a matter of personal opinion, on whether it is "sporting".

It isn't wrong nor is it unethical.

It's not something I agree with and it isn't something I plan on doing, but if someone wishes to "hunt" that way then who am I to tell them they are wrong?

This debate pops up every so often and I for one am tired of it. This is my first and final post in this thread.

If it's legal and it's your cup of tea , then NO , I dont think it's wrong.

Wrong = starting a baiting thread , which always turns into a heated debate , without just using the search function to get an idea how others feel about it.;)

At 880yds. (1/2 mile) there is moreshooting skill involved than just being "fun". I for one would be proud to say I shot one at that distance. All the practice, judging wind and knowing the exact range would've paid off.

Hunting over corn isn't very challenging however if your goal is to fill doe tags and the freezer with meat, its very effective

Is large deer drives with a dozen people "right" ?
Hunting with a rifle ......... is that "right" ?
Hunting a natural food source thats drawing deer like magnets .... "right" ?
Fenced ranches ....... "right" ?

RE: Do you think hunting over baited corn is right?
 

There's so much food around where I hunt, I have yet to see a deer over corn piles except on pics. What's the difference between hunting over the 1 acre clover plot I planted and the corn I pile out on the ground? Anyone?

RE: Do you think hunting over baited corn is right?
 

I don't feel that it's wrong as long as it's legal where you hunt. getting the deer in is hard enough. After that you have to stand, position yourself, draw and release without spooking a deer that is usually no closer than 30 yards at the most. Good luck...
