RE: Interesting article RE: Baiting
Jim come to Michigan, I will bait up a spot for you. Kill a deer, get it out of your system. You'll feel better:D
Baiting is a busniess, just head to Northen MI during hunting season;) |
RE: Interesting article RE: Baiting
Dancing with tattooed fat chicks ,riding Honda's and needing bait to kill adeer are three of the most unpleasant thoughts that a man should ever have to experience.
 I have heard said "its a dirty job but someone has to do it" well it ain't gonna be me.[:o] |
RE: Interesting article RE: Baiting
ORIGINAL: NCRemington700 I read that same article in Buckmasters. It was very interesting. It seems as though the numbers show that the more people around you bait as well, your chance of a harvest goes down since the deer can move from property to property at any time and have plenty of food at all places. Now if you're the only one around baiting that might change but they can still visit it at night and you'd never know! I do everything I can to keep deer on and around my property. |
RE: Interesting article RE: Baiting
You're just pissed 'cause you're doing it the easier way, Jim....and the author outted you!.....lol
I don't care how anyone else hunts.....done legally and ethically. Seen some SMOKIN ladies with tattoos (not fat....you're on your own, there).......used to ride an elsinore (just remembered....a Honda, too).......and technically one might say I've baited deer. I've been to strip clubs, gambled, drank, chased loose women and fudged my taxes.......but how another man hunts doesn't really rank way up there in the "I'm worried about that" category. I'm quite sure I have more fun than Pat Roberts. |
RE: Interesting article RE: Baiting
The articel doesn't suprise me, I have grown up in Texas hunting my whole life, where it is legal to use "bait". In my 20+ years of hunting I agree with the article, your mature or shooter deer will normally stay clear of bait sites during daylight hours, at least thats whatI have learned. Today I hunt on a ranch in west Texas and we do supplement feed year round, however we do not hunt anywhere close to the sites and we get really good pics in the daylight around these feed sites (this is a good tool to let us know what is on the ranch). You can throw diggs all you want towards Texas for feedingbut a lot of places in Texas the supplemental feeding is needed, we don't have rich farm lands and ag crops near by to hunt the deer on their way to. The region I am in there is litterally not any type of ag crops or anything for the deer including grassy plains, it is just rocks and cedar for the most part and the supplemental feeding helps the deer herd to reach it's maximum potential as well as help the herd health!!! As for hunting it some on the ranch do and some don't, as for me being I am strictly a bowhunter most of the year (unless my daughter goes with me) I hunt off the beaten path on trails and staging areas....The bait (supplemental feed)has it's purpose and as said before your most mature bucks aren't going to hit the bait in the daylight anyhow....

The article is referring to baiting and not food plots if I recall. |
RE: Interesting article RE: Baiting
Yes but what the article said was that if all of the neighbors bait too then the available sources is so high that it is much harder to keep the deer on your property. The article is referring to baiting and not food plots if I recall. |
RE: Interesting article RE: Baiting
ORIGINAL: Hoyt_Viper the warden will write you a $2000 fine for hunting within 1000 yards of biologic plots, loose corn, salt blocks/minerals etc. |

RE: Interesting article RE: Baiting
I agree that mutiple food plots would do the same thing. More people have the ability to use bait/corn piles here in SC than food plots so that's what the article was targeting. But I see what you're saying. I wonder why the article only pointed out baiting and not food plots? |
