With the very real threat of CWD and other diseases, baiting is a practice that needs to become a LOT less practiced.
Yes, and along with that, we need to dry up the small watering holes, cut down the mast crop producing trees, stop the natural instinct of deer to breed, and of course somehow drive the social nature out of them.:D
Are you seriously stating that deer browsing along the drip line of an Oak large enough to bear fruit is the same as the nose to nose contact of 30 deer with their heads buried in a pile of corn??? That's a ridiculus statement especially from someone with a QDM signiture! [&:]:(

You are correct, I should have stated a lone mast crop producing tree, my apologies.

being as less then 20% of states in the us allow baiting compared to the % of those who allow the use of scents, decoys, food plots etc. there is obviously a litttttttttttle bit of a difference and to compare the two is outrageuos, however, as i have said before if it is legal where you hunt then theres nothin to argue about

If you pattern the deer as they eye the feeder, it is pretty much like hunting over bait.
And if you pattern the deer as they eye the alfalfa , soy bean , or corn field?

No, it is not the same. The deer have unlimited access to alfalfa, soy bean, and corn fields, but the deer can only get the corn from a feeder at certain hours. They will wait until that feeder throws the corn, and come at that time. There is not a scheduled time for a food plot like there is for a feeder. The deer won't just come to the feeder throughout the day like they wouldto a food plot. They learn when it goes off and visit it when it throws the corn.

Personal choice if it is legal. It is legal in ND except on all public land. The public land law just went in this year to keep hunters from scrabbling over spots as theirs since they use bait. Good law in that instance !! Common sense should have been use by the baiters. Their loss!!

I don't hunt over bait. However if I have permission for land that other's are trying to draw deer out by baiting on their side...I will hunt the trails comingoff my side. I know the bait is there and why the deer are using the trail. Be no different if the deer bed on my side and fed on their's side byeating at natural food source or crop. Better I get the deer then they do.:D

I don't have problems with others baiting. I wish it was a law that you couldn't putbait out in large piles ( nothing bigger then 5 -10 bu ). This way the hunters that want to bait can.The deer would eat it up in a day or two instead of the pile rotting and possibly causing disease in the deer, turkey or other wildlife.Even the non baiters would win as it should help keepdeer from a large area on a normal pattern then all concentrating on a big bait pile. I've seenhow much power a large bait pile has when attracting deer in my area. Sad part is... the guy or the fewwho hunt over it, don't shot does or don't shoot enough does. You've pulled all the does off other land that would have been hunted by more hunters then just the few using the bait pile. Really doesn't help the state manage the deer population that seems to be growing higher in most states.Sad what a little common sense would do and we wouldn't need this law andmany others. [:@] Baiting probably wouldn't be so despised by non-baiters either if they used a little common sense!!
