I don't give a hoot what anyone else does hunting wise, just worried about what I'm doing. All that worrying is just distracting me from what I'm doing. Stopped worrying about others and enjoy what I'm doing much more.

Yea Cmon

I had nooooo problem killing my 12 point in Texas over corn where it's legal. He was a fine mature buck and I was really excited and thankful. He ate good too.

^^^This.....

I consider shooting a deer over a pile of corn and a green field the same. None of them are natural habitat that was there, but it is all placed there by man with the intent of baiting in the deer or whatever it is. That is my opinion, but id shoot one off a corn pile any day. That is just me.

Unless you are chasing deer down on foot with a spear you are cheating. It's all just a matter of to what degree you are cheating.

45,000 thousand dollar 4 wheel drive; 10,000 dollar bad boy buggy; 300 dollar climbing stand; 800 to 1500 dollar rifle; 800 to 1500 dollar scope; 600 dollar pair of binoculars; camo clothing; scent killer sprays; and a string of game cameras to determine which trail the deer are using to enter your green patches.

But don't get near corn because that would be cheating. LOL!

You are correct. But way too many people have BS'ed themselves into thinking there is a difference.

x 1000. To many people love to puff out their chests and declare = Im more sportsmen like than you!!!! I don't care if you hunt over corn or not. Make it legal and IF you don't like it , don't hunt over it!

This also applies when people dog someone for killing a "small" buck. Not everyone is a trophy hunter and a rack doesn't make a trophy to everyone.

one time i read that indians used to kill a deer and gut it clean it take everything out, the eyes. everything. and they would get in the deer and walk up to other deer by looking out the eye holes and get close to one and jump on it and stab it. wouldn't that be fun today. i bet some of us on here wished we still lived like indians today. i know it would be fun, but scary and dangerous knowing we may not have food for the next day. what if this guy was getting low on food and didn't have the money to feed his family? then you would feel bad if that was the case wouldn't you? i know if i had this post i would feel bad. maybe that was his first deer ever.

People have to find something to blame their own inadequacies on....

No different than a greenfield

Exactly

Agreed

x2 as long as it is legal where he or she is hunting more power to him.

Every time we have one of these threads it gets silly. We get so caught up in our traditions that we say things are are hypocritical. The purpose of a corn pile, or food plot, or acorn tree, or salt lick, or Acorn Rage, or (insert attractant here), is to bring the deer to a specific spot in order to shoot him/her. The argument that baiting (with corn or artificial attractant) is unsportsmanlike can't stand on it's own feet. A food plot IS AN ATTRACTANT for the purpose of bringing a deer into a specified spot. Oh, the plot is "supplemental feeding"?....well so is corn and all the other 50 dozen mineral products. Now if your argument is it could introduce disease to the herd, well that can be made I suppose (it's a huge stretch, but it can be made).

I hear this argument A LOT and it couldn't be any further from the truth.

Agreed. That is like saying a gun is no different than a f150. Both will kill a deer if you hit them just right.

Why not?? So you can plant New Zealand Brassic in a hay feild BUT to put out corn in the same greenfeild is different???
