I agree with Todd & Timbercruiser.

And at the end of the day - who cares? Its just a deer.

Exactly, everybody uses things that give them an unfair advantage over the deer. It's simply a matter of degree. I just laugh at people who drive a four wheel drive to where they hunt; back a 4 wheeler off of it to get them further into the woods; put on camo overalls; spray down with scent killer spray; go climb a tree with a climbing stand after setting out 4 doe in heat bombs; sit there 30 feet off the ground scanning for deer with a 500 dollar pair of binoculars; shoot a deer 300 yards away with a 300 win mag topped with a 800 dollar scope; then come home and mock people that would legalize hunting near a corn feeder as a "cheater". LOL! Have mercy.

Being able to use a gun or a compound bow is a far bigger cheat than using a corn feeder. How many deer could you kill at a corn feeder with just a hand thrown sharp stick? And how many deer would you kill each year if you had to walk from where you live to your hunting club?

Hunt how you want. But if I were using some or all of the things mentioned above I'd back off belittling someone who would sit over a green patch or corn (if legalized) as cheating or not really hunting. You might just come off looking like a major hypocrite.

I dont care how other people gret it done. I like seein view points aside from my own. You can't grow your mind if you dont take other points of view into consideration. Its obviously a sensitive subject for some and thats ok.

I don't care either way. Just make it legal or illegal so there's an easily defined line in the sand.

If it didn't screw up the natural deer movement, I wouldn't give a rat's @ss if everybody in the country hunted over corn. I'm certainly not going to hunt over corn. I don't consider it "hunting"

Corn fed deer taste better IMO

not sure what you would consider it. Or what you consider the natural movement of deer. Because there movement changes constantly, more or less. Deer basically eat, sleep and breed. Hunters basically try to catch them going to or from one of these activities. isnt there natural flow also effected as soon as hunters steps foot in the woods. Regardless what folks call it, its all the same. Meat in the freezer and if were lucky, bones on the wall.

More activity happens around corn than just seeing deer. Great way to keep kids interested in outdoors with all the other animals and predators to keep them occupied just in case they don't see a deer. Can be used as another way of herd management and monitoring. Never shot a doe over corn in all years I hunted over it. Other people kept does thinned down. Got to let the young ones walk if you want a trophy! Different people have different opinion got to respect that, but got to say Florida and other states still have strong deer herd with hunting over corn.

Fed two young bucks for four months fattening those things up before taking both in January. Some of the best venison I ever had too!

I personally don't see the inconsistency. If you plant corn or grass, it's legal to hunt over. If you pour grass or corn out of a bag, it's illegal. I hunt over corn ALOT...still on the stalk.

There's a lot of people that thumb their nose at the thought of "corn pile" hunters. As witnessed in this thread. Not debating the legalities of it at this time. Simply that people have a double standard here..... Some misconception that a food plot is "real" hunting and a corn feeder is not. Where legal of course.

Yea, I really don't care one way or the other. For each his own.

The main people who DO NOT want baiting legalized?

The one's doing it that way NOW.

When everybody can do it, they lose their advantage.
