If it doesn't hurt the resource, I don't care if it's legal or not. I'm not gonna talk down on folks that are following the rules and are getting out and enjoying the outdoors.
But, you keep racing to your bottom.

You must have some great land and plenty of time to hunt. Otherwise, you wouldn't be spewing this garbage. Being pro bait does not make someone a poor woodsman. Not everyone has access to prime land or can be in the woods a half-dozen times a week. Alot of folks work and have family obligations. Personally, I've got about 3-4 hours one day a week that I can be in the woods. Yes, it would be nice to be able to increase my odds with a little corn. One minute you anti bait guys talk about how corn makes it too easy and the next how it doesn't really help. You probably all think it's just fine to sit over a cut corn field.

I don't have time or prime land and I have 0 desire to hunt over corn.

Making it LEGAL would solve more problems than making it ILLEGAL creates. No valid reason for it to be a crime. Problem solved.

Not trying to start a fight but how many people that would hunt over corn for deer are against it for turkeys.

Me. Turkeys have to walk in the daylight and they are incredibly stupid to begin with and they can’t smell. It’s not an apples to apples comparison

Why just deer? Hunting any game animal, including hogs and coyotes, is illegal and the commissioner violates the law when he issues permits to allow hunting over bait.

Congratulations. I respect your decision to not hunt over corn.

Baiting is illegal. You talking about the current 100 yard supplemental BS? If so that will never happen, that was only passed so the high fence operations could continue "supplemental feeding legally" year round lol

If they are going to limit you to x amount then it shouldn’t matter if you use bait or not. I have hunted over it legally in Texas, over cut corn fields in IL and without it in Alabama. If they legalize it I will use it as a method same as I do when I plant food plots, put fert around specific oak trees and walk a drag line of doe pee into my stand. All have worked for me in killing deer. Will I ONLY hunt over bait? No because there will be times when it will be smarter to hunt other areas where it isn’t.
If a guy pays for his license and shoots what he is supposed to shoot by law then more power to him. If he chooses to enjoy his time afield watching a corn pile then have at it brother. If you choose not to, then have at it brother. Some of y’all need to get off your high horse and just learn to live and let live.

We run feeders year round for the most part (stop when/if hogs move in but that's rare). If it becomes legal we may add a couple feeders but it still won't affect how I hunt 90% of the time. We have a feeder right off a field now (200 yards from stand and you can't see it because the field hooks around) the camera on it shows the deer to spend more time in field than eating at a feeder.

Our densities are VERY low so we utilize everything we can to recruit more deer.

Putting people in jail for hunting over corn jeez. A lot of folks are against the government imposing any kind of regulation at GC, doe days, buck limits just about anything you can name.Unless it is something they agree with then it is bring it on. More rules and regulations and put them in jail.

So True. Big fence = Big money = Big influence

I have no interest in shooting a turkey under any circumstance.

I am only interested in feeding the deer that frequent the property I hunt the absolute maximum possible. Adding in the ability to corn roads with my tractor every few weeks on top of planting plots would be a valuable resource to those property managers that are trying to increase deer populations any way they can in low density areas.

These poor deer need to eat y'all, I can't understand why so many lose their freaking mind over some food that is no different than wheat growing in the ground.

It’s to the point now that you have to feed if you want to keep deer on your property. I’m all for fewer laws and less government intrusion, and believe game wardens should be chasing serious problems like night hunters and poachers. But, I would be all for paying for a permit if it would go toward warden salaries, both increasing salaries and hiring more wardens.

Me. I don't shoot a gobbler unless I call him in. I hunt in Florida and Alabama and we have to use corn in Florida to compete with everyone around us.

Just make it LEGAL! Problem solved, no need for game warden to ticket anyone.

I'm with this crowd.

I dont really understand why there is even any debate on this subject. Just legalize it. 50% of the state is already hunting over corn (NO, not supplemental feeding but using it to influence deer movement in an attempt to make them easier to kill). It was bad to start with and has only gotten worse with the 100 yds and out of sight BS. Go to any gas station, walmart, or co-op during the season, they stock it by the pallet load and can hardly keep the stuff in stock. Then go back to those same stores 2 weeks after the season ends and they will be lucky to sell 5 bags combined across all locations. I personally will not hunt over corn but if that's what people want to do, then why not let them. It's not like it is not already happening all over the state. Trust me, if disease caused by deer feeding in close proximity to each other on corn was going to wipe out our deer herd, it would have happened years ago.
