Lots of things have wrongfully been illegal or legal in this country. It was once legal to own other humans here. It was once illegal for women to vote. I could go on for an hour listing examples. Thank goodness we live in a country where we have the freedom to ask "WHY" something is illegal. And when a good answer to that question cannot be found then we can pressure the people in office or elect new people that will change such laws.

I hear a lot of people rail against hunting over bait in these threads but hold their feet to the fire and they cannot give you one reason that makes hunting over corn any morally or ethically different than hunting over a green patch. Yet one is illegal and the other isn't. But I have a feeling that eventually this glaring inconsistency is going to be fixed.


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.
