When you carry that bag of corn into the woods, tear it open and turn it over, all you've dumped out is an announcement. It says, very clearly; "I can't hunt very well".

I agree, I would make sure to bring Carrots, apples and some beets. Just corn is not very smart

Most people who are against baiting will tell you that it's illegal in most states because it promotes the spread of CWD.

If I had a spread feeder that could sling corn over the same area as your food plot......you tell me the difference in the two.

You saw the corn/ soybean field that sits next to my plot, what's the difference then if I hung a stand over it vs my plot vs a feeder?

IMO, nothing.

Lets sling corn all over the place and compair that to a food plot and say there's no difference! Unbeleivable![:@]I wanna see you do that in a 5 to 10 acre food plot! Get real! If a persons food plot is big enough there isn't a bit of difference in that then hunting a corn field!

IF they are indeed the same, why is baiting illegal in many states whereas food plots are legal in ALL states? The law tells me there is a difference, my findings through 26 seasons say there is a difference in the drawing power, (offseason feeding vs plots) why should I think they are the same?

C'mon Rob. Just because some states do not allow it does not make it wrong all together. The same argument could be said for cross bows, Sunday Hunting.........you name it. The name of the game is to get closer to the animals...... toincrease your odds. Both feeders and plots do just that.

You guys are too much. "I only hunt with a bow" "I'd rather hear a story about a bow hunt that ended with nothing than a gun hunter who got a big buck"

I'd rather not hear a story about any deer that was killed while eating out of a pile of corn in the woods where it got a false sense of security from being in thick cover. Get real oh mighty hunter!

You bait- you suk, sorry...

That is great, one hunter telling another that his legal method of hunting sucks

. And we wonder why hunter numbers are decreasing.

Personally I would like to hear about any hunter hunting legally.

Now why so mean

Who said anything about bowhunting only

Killer hunting over bait is extremely hard to kill the deer. Why people do so is beyond me.

At age 13 I ask my grandpa "Why do the deer look up at me",he replied "They know your there" When I took a differnet view on hunting orv.

There are many reason why some do it.
Time is one, hunting a large wooded area.

If you want to say my grandfather sucks as a hunter because he choose to hunt over bait so be it. He just enjoys watching them these days for the most part. Baiting done correctly does this for him, and as his grandson I am proud to haul all the corn, apples, carrots and beets to his setups

So I guess I suck also[8D]

BTW for someone who gets all pissing when gun hunting is attacked, you sure like to sling the mud at the way other choose to hunt

Hey Bruce,
Just because we’re both hunters, doesn’t mean we took some kind of oath, or are on the same team…

More people should go study what artificial food sources do to wildlife before forming an opinion. Long story short – it’s not a good idea. It does nothing good for the herd, unless you think giving them the false sense that it is okay to procreate given this new food source is okay, but it isn’t. People like to bait because they’ll see more deer, but they don’t think about the big picture, I guess you could say it is selfish. But since I’m a hunter I should probably just agree with you, right?
