RE: Just Have To Say
ORIGINAL: Schultzy ORIGINAL: cooter144 FYI...the presence of corn fields can actually cause hunting to become more difficult than if it wasn't there due to the fact that many of the deer will use them as shelter to hide from hunters. It has caused me headaches many times when our neighbor grows corn along the borders of our land. Comparing a field of standing corn, which can be hundreds of acres in size, to a pile of food which can be placed anywhere that the hunter wishes (beneath a perfectly placed stand in the woods?) is pretty stupid IMO |

ORIGINAL: GMMAT I take a chance every time I get on an airplane that I will die in a plane crash. But since it's never happened to me.....I don't give it much thought when I fly. If you're still singing that song about a cornfield and a baitpile being the same thing .. your still nuts! I don't care how hard you try and twist the moon into the sun to fit your reasoning you missed it bad on this one. The more you dig the more that the sides are falling in on you! |
RE: Just Have To Say
blah, blah, blah, Bob. "Rhetoric" doth not = "fact". Your rhetoric is popular in most deer hunting circles.....but the FACT remains.....Corn and soy beans are not indigenous plants where you see them planted in fields. That makes them "artificial" to that area. Shelled corn doesn't grow out of the ground into a pile....so that makes it artificial, too.
Your artificial corn field might be bigger than the artiicial bait pile......but they're both what? YES!! Artificial! Leave the cover aspect out of it. Leave the "patterning" thing out of it. Let's get down to basics. They are both an artificially introduced food source. |

Jeff, without these readily available food sources how many deer would you think there would be today? Are there more deer now or in the days of Daniel Boone? Even with habitat diminishing by the hour the deer herd countinues to grow.
An artificial food source (Bait)is something placed by someone for the benefit of attracting something else. Corn, soy, apple orchards..whatever, were not put there to attract anything. they are a lively hood for someone. If you grow something to not harvest it and only attract game then yes, I'll buy it as artificial. A Food Plot for example. I still have nothing against the practice of baiting if legal or food plots or what have you..but your logic and the "GMMAT spin" are what I take exception too! That Oak tree your hunting under did someone plant it or did the acorn fall and naturally sprout?? I mean come on..:eek: |

RE: Just Have To Say
The only ag around my hunting grounds are hay fields for the cattle. Not quite the draw for deer that corn fields are. |

RE: Just Have To Say
Schultzy....when someone disagrees with you....it's often FAR from "ridiculous". If ag fields couldn't be hunted.....I'd say they weren't technically "bait". GR8's already conceded that food plots "are".
So the "intent" for why the hunter is hunting the ARTIFICIAL stimulus is the key, right? WHY are you hunting near the ag fields? |
