Where is baiting at right now?

I have been tied up with a lot of BS and have had little or no time to even think about hunting. Cliff Notes would be appreciated.

100 yards, out of sight, using natural terrain features. That's it.

So the same, no change? The tax to bait never made it out of committee I guess.

It's like the speed limit,... you can get as aggressive with it as you want

Governors penis got in the way of a vote.

Truer words have never been spoken

Yeah sumbeech got in the way of the corn hole, i meant corn vote

$500.00 if you get caught.

lot of lost revenue if baiting becomes legal. Half of agents salary come from baiting fines. (just my assessment)

Agents?

I don't think the tickets relate to the game warden's salary. The loss of revenue would have been the ability to sell stickers for the bait feeders. $20 or so per feeder per year for those that wanted to put out a feeder would have accumulated a lot of money.

Buying a sticker for a feeder would make me furious. So stupid. If they need more money don't nickel and dime me, just charge more for licenses.
Maybe they should charge more for the right to use mechanical broadheads, or for using a center fire rifle? Bucks should definitely cost more than does too. It never ends.

Why not just plant an acre of corn? NWTF surplus seed for $40 per bag. Maybe $125 for fertilizer and $20 for glyphosate. An acre would yield around 100 bushels x 56 lbs/bushel = 5600 lbs of corn(maybe more if you have good soil and adequate rainfall) that you can hunt LEGALLY. One year I ran a tiller through the middles and top seeded it with oats after dry down and added a little more fertilizer. Deer would be in it when I came to the stand and when I left at 11am and be there again at 2pm when I came back.

just like it was

You must not have many animals for an acre to make it through hunting season. Either way, both are hunting by aid of feeding.

Actually we are overrun with deer, which is why I don't waste time planting plots anymore. If someone doesn't have good enough hunting skills to kill deer on this property they need to take up golf. A neighboring farmer has a year round permit and has killed over 100 deer in his soybeans in the last few years. I just see 15 does and fawns in the mornings instead of 30 and the usual 7 or 8 different bucks. I just wonder if there are so many deer on a property that would eat up 5600lbs of corn why you would have to use bait to harvest them instead of hunting natural food sources.

Is your real name Jackie Bushman?

horseshitt.

GWs are called agents in La.

Never had an acre of corn make it that long on our place.

Classic!

I've got one place I think an acre would make it...if it were up to the deer. Coons and squirrels eat an acre though before Feb. There are 4 pigs in it now and they are about to leave one way or another.

Lol..Couple more years of 100 plus deer being killed in the soybean fields, and he'll be like "Where the phuck did the deer go?" bwhahahahhahhahaha

He has a 12 acre field that he never plants in beans beause the deer mow them down. He and his helpers have killed a hundred or more TOTAL in the last 3 years, not per year. This is just across the TN/AL line above Anderson, AL. Our limit is 3 does per day if that tells you anything.

Ill shoot the pigs if you don't have the heart.

I don't care if you shoot them, rope them, bulldog them, whatever. I haven't been there in about 10 days and they were I guess around 65 lbs. I was going to put some corn out to get them in one area. The second time there I went to shaking the corn out of the bag and they came running to me. These aren't wild hogs. Tails docked. Good looking pigs. I have asked all around and can't find the owner. I can get probably 15-20 feet from them. Can you make that shot?

I'm glad that they didn't pass this bulldoodoo law! What happened to ethical hunting?
