What the hell does the amount of effort have to do with what something is? If you hitch a plow to yourself and drag it like a mule; if you crawl along and poke each individual seed hole with your little finger; if you water each seed with your own spit; you know what it will be when it starts to grow out of the ground? BAIT!

It's harder to weave a basket by hand than it is to let a machine make one. But in either case you know what the finished product is? A f#####g basket. Are machine made baskets illegal because they are easier to make?

And this notion that all you have to do is swing by the feed store on the day you are going hunting and buy a sack of corn to pour out under your tree is beyond ignorant. Deer like corn but they have to find it like any other food source. That takes time just like with a green patch. You can't just pour it out for the first time and sit over it that day. It's food not magic pixie dust. Good grief.



I wish I knew the percentage of Alabama hunters that planted patches that provided 9-12 months of food each year for deer. I bet it wouldn't crack double digits. I'm 50 years old and lived here my whole life. I don't know anyone that does and I know a lot of hunters. The vast, VAST, majority of green patches planted in Alabama each year are just winter wheat, rye grass, or oats. None of which provide year round food. This is just another myth that people dig out of their @$$ to make themselves real superior.
