Those are 2 MAJOR problems that need adressed but instead all these "ethical" or "fair chase" hunters want to police how other people hunt their own properties. Who cares if you want to feed corn. It is not a magic spell that brings every deer in for miles like some people want to make it seem. It is just another tool to tilt the odds in your favor, just like a green field, or a high power rifle and scope, or estrus attractents, etc...
I believe the quantity of deer killed needs to be managed more than the method of how they are killed. You shoot them on a green field or you shoot them on a corn feeder, the end result is the same, dead deer and meat in the freezer. Does it really matter where it was when it died as long as it does not go to waste? Nope.
Now it does matter how many die every season to ensure there is a herd for future generations and so that more young ones can enjoy hunting because they are seeing deer.
Some people just need to stop trying to force everyone else to hunt the exact way they do.
Worry more about how many deer are being killed instead of what it was eating when it died.


so you are opposed to telling people how to hunt on their land (when it comes to baiting), but in favor of a more strict tag system that does a better job of insuring how people hunt on their land... crazy


I am against too much government involvment on telling people "how" they can hunt their land. But I am for common sense laws about "how many" deer can be killed because it ensures there will be deer here in the future. How you hunt and how many you kill are 2 totally different things. Unlike a greenfield and corn (or sweet taters or any other food source) which are all bait.
