Planting a cornfield is by far too expensive for the majority of hunters. Only the most fortunate can do this giving them a distinct advantage over their neighbors. Very few hunters can afford a tractor and its implements. Very few hunters can afford to plant corn, even if they had the mechanical means. Very few hunters have a tract of land that would lend itself to planting corn (timber company land, pasture land, cut over, etc.).
If you think by any means that legalized baiting will be a cheap means of drawing and keeping deer on your property, then you won't be doing it right...and I can bet that one or more of your neighbors WILL be doing it right.
I have lots of friends who hunt in Florida...the lowest amount I've heard from any of them is about $300/month on corn...most start in August, and the season goes out today (2/26) down there. That's 7 months at $300/mo, minimum...adding $2100+ onto your yearly hunting bill.
If you're doing it right, you're not running ONE feeder per baiting sight...you're running two. That way, if one fails to go off or gets something hung in the spinner, the other one will go off. Figure out how many places you want to bait, then multiply it by two to get the number of feeders you need to buy.
that's one my BIGGEST reason against baiting. if ya think those guys with tractors can't buy corn in bulk and more feeders than others
they will benefit the mostest
really reminds me of club meetings where NEW rules were wanted to make things FAIR for all, some folks are retired and some have lot's of money, you just can't beat them
