I'm against feeding/baiting during the season. Just my opinion, just what I like, no studies, etc saying its better or worse. I just get more enjoyment out of hunting a deer in as natural environment as possible with no alterations by man. It wouldn't bother me if food plots were not allowed either. Again nothing more than its what I like. So do u plant food plots? Just because it's legal doesn't mean you have to

shucks folks adapt and move on. Things will be just fine whatever happens. I can't believe some sof the petty worries some folks have these days. "I can't believe some of the petty worries some folks have these days." Agree, we shouldn't be worrying ourselves with changing a law!! We should just repeal the damned "supplemental feeding" and be done with it! Simple....

So do u plant food plots? Just because it's legal doesn't mean you have to So let's legalize spotlighting too! But, if you don't agree with that, it don't mean that YOU would have to do it... HAHA, LMAO

Just because it's legal doesn't mean you have to We do plant food plots because our club wants to and I do sit over them occasionally. You are reading to much into this, its just what I like/dislike hunting wise. Nothing more, nothing less. But it will be hard to have a club that will not feed/bait if its legal and small landowners will have to bait to keep deer on their property. Which in both cases will make it harder to hunt like I enjoy it. It really may boil down to that if baiting is legalized that I will give up deer hunting and just hunt feathers. I'm just not a harvester, I enjoy the hunt more than the kill and shooting one over a bait pile or foodplot isn't as much fun as figuring one out in the woods to me. A buddy of mine killed a nice old buck down in a bottom the other morning, nice but certainly not in the category of the biggest he's killed. As we were trying to get him out, we both noted how much more we enjoyed a kill like that than a bigger one out of a plot. It may be that I'm the minority and hey that's fine, if the majority would rather hunt over bait and its legalized, I will either adapt or like I said, quit.

I was just fudging with ya I'll agree though. Once they do legalize it, there ain't no way we'll be able to keep up with our neighbors!

We hunt over bait everytime we sit on a greenfield, greenfield is planes to draw deer and congrefate them. Baiting will not make deer less nocturnal but may make them more nocturnal due to increase human presence around a feeding area. I will keep on supplemental feeding near food sources in troughs, not on greenfields and not just corn but pellets as well. You kidding right about the part baiting makes them nocturnal? If you talk to those out of state that allow feeding you will see more anytime of day. Sure makes for an easy tracking job if you shoot one during middle of day. With a clean non-obstructed shot better recovery rate too.

The difference in baiting in Texas and Alabama is the the habitat. With Alabama pine plantations, most caloric needs met by supplemental (baiting) feeding and the enormous pressure, deer will become more nocturnal than they already are. There isn't a lot of calories in natural browse so deer must feed several times a day. If they can head to a feeder at night, get most of their caloric needs met , then they can lay up in thick pines all day and never be seen. I wish they'd ban it all. Your right on the money Bill. It will make the deer even more nocturnal than the already are.

but 95% of hunters I've known throughout my life have/do hunt over corn at some point. You must hang around a lot of outlaws for it to be 95 percent.

One big difference between corn and food plots that I rarely if ever see mentioned is that food plots provide food for the deer even after the season goes out. Most people who feed put feed out during deer season and stop when it ends.
I didn't say all, I said most, so there's no need to tell me you do it differently....
