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

We can't do that here , but I see little difference between that and hunting over a food plot .

Lol:D

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

I voted "no" simply because of the state that I hunt in. It is illegal to do so and therefore I do not believe it is right. In the bigger scheme of things if a state allows it then I don't have a problem with a person doing it. From what I have heard it isn't as cut and dry as many people make it out to be.

If it's legal in your state it's fine.

To each their own...:)

The differance in baiting and food plots is that the food plot is there all winter still feeding game and your bait pile was gone as soon as you did not need it anymore.

So if you keep putting out corn after the season it would be ok to you? Guys, "baiting" is Anything which allures; a lure; enticement; temptation. So corn, food plots, doe in heat scents, decoys, and all calls are some form of "baiting" a deer to come within range of a hunter. To say one is right or better than another is really cutting hairs. In states where it is illegal, the reason most often given is for the protection of the deer as it has been proven to foster the passing of certain diseases more easily by concentrating deer to a small area. If legal, it is just another form of attracting deer, exactly like a food plot or planted apple tree or scent wick. In states where it is illegal, it is one less tool in the arsenal of tricks hunters use to attract deer within range.

I agree with the above scents, rattling, food plots, water source and any thing else that "baits" is baiting. So most of usbait.

I say baiting is a great thing. It allows us to take more ethical shots and provides deer and other animals withfood during the hunting season.

Animals hunt this way. I watch this cat in my back yard and it hunts these berry bushes that are there. He waits and when a bird lands to eat, lunch time! I hope that someone takes the cats hunting permit away soon he is huntingunethiclly. I think he should stand in the middle of my yard and hope that bird flys by mistaking him for a stump.

Coming from a state that sells deer corn at the convenience stores and grocery stores during deer season I’ve got to wonder how many farms are out there soley for the production of deer corn.
Like it or not, they sell it by the ton down here. If it's helping our farmers out one iotta (sp?) I'm all for it.

PIGS like it too

I have never seen a "crop" of corn concentrated into a 300 lb mound - "growing" in a 5 ' x5' lump on the edge of hardwoods and a thick bedding area. I hate corners to the point I can't even eat the stuff come hunting season[:@]

AND I have never seen a can of tinks change the entire deer pattern of a piece of woods for weeks at a time............lol.........to put scent lures in the same sentence as corn is[:'(]

It is illegal here - and there is more corn piles in the woods than on ole Mcdonalds farm[:-].......you know a duck duck here..............................a duck duck there.......

I carry shock with me when I scout - thats pool clorine - nothing like a little bit of that stuff to kill a pile:D- its easier to carry than deisel fuel;)

I hate corn - I hate the practice - I hate the reasons - and I hate the "character" of those I see using it. It has become a desease in the woods I hunt.

Funny how it is legal and O.K. in some states yet it is flat out POACHING where I hunt.

These are just the opinions of one who hunts in woods that corning is ILLEGAL - so it is poaching. Do not take it personally if you bait where it is legal to do so.
