RE: Should hunting over bait be illegal in your area?
Whats the difference in these ?
A food plot.
A bucket of corn.
A bottle of tinks 69.
To me they are all BAIT.
Bait is just something to draw the animal to a point in which to ambush it.
Each hunter must make up his/her own mind about this subject.
I used to not like a pile of corn but.
I got to thinking theres no difference in all types of baiting.
So if it is legal go for it.

On a similar note there is an entire thread comparing baiting to hunting over a food plot located here... http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1356301
I realize that it is easy to divert the discussion away from baiting by attempting to link its use to scents, and food plots, however each matter is a discussion in itself and is already being discussed elsewhere on this board.

You will quickly learn that corn is not even the deers favorite food around here especially when the acorn crop is good. I can tell you that acorns, natural grasses, and woods browse are a whole lot more natural than planted crops.
And, If you want to call the forest around here a crop, you will find that the visibility in the woods here is probably 40 yards at the most without cutting a branch here and there with a chainsaw.
Most successful hunters around here find you have to fight through all of that I just described and find the trails, the buck sign, very secluded bedding areas to kill anything much more than a yearling.
Come down here from the north, and dump that bucket of corn on the ground. (I'm not suggesting you even want too). You will not only be very frustrated, but you will fit the stereotype of a Yankee (only talking stereotype here), and at best an unexperenced southern hunter.
and my lack of chew spit running down my chin , you'd just think I'm another good ol boy who knows how to really hunt!

I see baiting as no problem or any of my business as long as its 100% legal! I don't think I am one to judge another style of hunting as long as its legal!
To each his own!

Simply pointing out that to bait or not to bait.
Is up to the person and or persons thinking about doing it.
There is probly 10,000 differnces between the two.
But the end result is the same to get an animal in a spot.
To ambush it and take it home to eat or what ever.
I was only voicing my opinion.
Nothing more nothing less

Jcchartboy, Fldeerman told me I should go to law school, so now I'm basing things on circumstancial evidence and lies. lol joking. I didn't really mean much by it, I thought I would at least try to get back a little for the "so much for our tax dollars" remark, which by the way was slightly funny, even pointed at me.

Why would I do that when I can kill a big fat Indiana deer from the front porch and never set down my Cheerios? I don't even put my boots on until I have my limit laying on the ground out in the yard

If it sounds like a feeder pen to you, that sounds a lot like a confirmation of pretty much what we've been saying about you guys baiting and hunting penned up deer.
Which is it, an insult or nothing like that?
