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 smile

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 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

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.

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

Let's open it up wide open!! Yes, you can smoke crack and spotlight a deer off of your corn pile and be able to do it year around. They just too many damn reugulations trying to tell ME how I can hunt!!! That's bullshitt!!!!

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.

I agree on the potential for increased spread of disease. I just was looking for an unbiased study on corning making deer more nocturnal.

I'm confused by you doomsdayers. Maybe I'm in the minority here, but 95% of hunters I've known throughout my life have/do hunt over corn at some point. So I don't really see the huge difference regarding disease, turning them nocturnal, etc. The only difference I can see will be folks not trying to hide it.

What you slapping your forehead about? I guess all those tons of bags of corn sold every weekend throughout the fall and winter aren't being sold to hunters?

Your right on the money Bill. It will make the deer even more nocturnal than the already are.

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....
