What is your definition of a real hunter?

Hell yeah that would be cool! Tell u what man its gonna be a sad day when Ole Hank jr leaves this world

Now come on blumsden. Aren't you aware that the presence of a gun within 100 yards of corn instantly infects it with anthrax? LOL!

Good luck trying to debate the anti feeder guys. It's hopeless. They will not answer you on any specific point because they can't. For every attack they make on hunting over corn there is a counter attack that completely negates their point but they simply won't acknowledge it. Been down this road several times with them.

They will hurl names like lazy slob hunters at you for wanting bait legalized. And then go climb in a shooting house over a green patch. But that's OK because you know it takes all kinds of hard work and woodsmanship to climb into a shooting house over a green patch. You have to walk up those 4 steps; learn to work that latch on the door; and don't even get me started on the skills needed for those plexglass sliding windows. LOL!

You have guys that will rank you one click above a child molester for wanting bait legalized for deer and then board a plane and go shoot a bear in Canada over a bait barrel. Or go to Wyoming and kill an antelope by sitting in a blind next to the only water hole for 25 square miles. What's the difference you say? None at all. But common sense, logic and facts have nothing to do with their side in this debate. Using corn for bait is wrong because they were taught it's wrong and that's basically their only argument when you pin them down.

A corn feeder is bait placed in a specific location by man to lure game into gun or bow range.

A green patch is bait placed in a specific location by man to lure game into gun or bow range.

One is illegal but the other isn't despite there being no moral or ethical difference in the two. And that's the unassailable truth they cannot get around despite all the hair pulling and gnashing of teeth.

Killing a deer here on the coast is 10x harder than down in Alabama and I still don't bait.

I like the long hunting season we have here and would hate to see it shortened to 3weeks like the other states that do baiting.

I would guess that some of you'all fish with a bare hook.

Kodiak, are you chasing the Columbian blacktails or whitetails in the coastal forest? That's on my bucket list. Gorgeous area out there.

I would guess that some of you'all fish with a bare hook.

I do for mullet.

I'm so sick of this coming up each year. The reg that went into effect last year was supposed to put this issue to rest once and for all. Obviously it was just subterfuge to further advance the issue.

Corn bait is for incompetent unethical hunters.

It is bad enough that we already have battle of the food plots and people putting food plots right on property lines. Now it will be battle of the corn piles. And make no mistake, there will be arseholish unethical shmucky people putting it right on property lines too.

I just know Dan, have talked with him about this before and knows that the approval or denial by the Alabama Legislature or DCNR about this won't make a difference to EBSCO's bottom line.

If you really think Alabama approving "baiting" would make a difference to Dan then you don't know beans.

Nice slur, though.

I believe the corn that Walmart sells is provided by mr Dan. Feel free to ask him and correct me if I am wrong.

Why don't you just go still corn cobs of farmers stalks? would it make a difference to you?

Todd, your a man after my own heart, great post. Gotcha, your saying as long as your bait has more protein in it, then your ok with it? What do have against corn? Your not anti-baiting, your anti-corn. Have a bad reaction to corn as a child or something? As i've said before, to me, its cheaper to have year round quality food plots, but if somebody wants to put out the bait of their choice, i'm ok with it. BTW,Nighthunter, nice jab to CNC's kidney. LOL
