I've seen deer walk over a corn pile to get to a white oak tree. I've seen them totally ignore it in a food plot and eat the green. I've seen them eat corn. Corn isn't a magic bullet. It's just another food source. Where bham fred at we got an outlaw in here
We will burn that bridge when we get there

The difference in baiting in Texas and Alabama is the the habitat. With Alabama pine plantations, most caloric needs met by supplemental (baiting) feeding and the enormous pressure, deer will become more nocturnal than they already are. There isn't a lot of calories in natural browse so deer must feed several times a day. If they can head to a feeder at night, get most of their caloric needs met , then they can lay up in thick pines all day and never be seen. I wish they'd ban it all. Your right on the money Bill. It will make the deer even more nocturnal than the already are. If they get anymore nocturnal than they are now they will have to legalize hunting at night. I just got finished looking through about 10,000 trail cam pictures that were in the last week and 95% of them were during hours of darkness.
If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.

Let the arms race begin. Ye who can afford the greatest number of feeders with the largest capacity shall have the does (and bucks). Ye who shall retain those does on thou property shall also have the bucks cometh rut. Thou poverty stricken neighbors who refuse to plow they income into corn shall cease to see deer come rut. And so sayeth the legislature.
Good bye traditional hunting

I don't think it's going to change much, it'll just let the folks that are hunting over corn now to be able to do it legally .

Johnny tell us the story how you killed that big buck.
Well to all my Aldeer buddies here is my story. Yesterday I slipped behind the camper on my corn pile and got in a shooting house at 4:30pm in my street clothes and had the heater going. I seen this deer with horns walking up and busted his azz. He fell right there. I went and got my clean truck and chunked that sucker in the back and headed to the processor. After dropping the big buck off I went by the car wash and sprayed the blood out the back. I can't stand a dirty truck and I'm not gutting a stinking deer. I sure hope y'all like my hunting story.

I don't think it's going to change much, it'll just let the folks that are hunting over corn now to be able to do it legally . Don't think about next season think 20 seasons down the Road . Young folks will come up hunting feeders .. Look at the 5 stages of a Hunter . Sitting on a feeder is not hunting. IMO. Probably not going to effect deer movenent as much as it willl the sport of the hunt. Deer movenent patterns is localized based on pressure and is not going to effect everyone the same . Deer naturally will move dawn and dusk if there isn't pressure.

I believe some of yall would still bitch and moan if you were guaranteed to see 25 deer a day with 5 of those scoring over 150" "s
I had much rather be tried by twelve than carried to my grave by six!!!!

"The Future Of Killing"
Little Johnny ask big Johnny what's a rub daddy? What's a White Oak daddy? What's a scrape Daddy? What's a bedding area daddy? What does a deer eat besides this yellow gold daddy? How do you use a tree stand daddy? Why don't we have to play the wind daddy? What does a grunt sound like daddy? I guess I need to ask grandpa these questions since you don't know the answers?

I planted 10 acres of corn this year. It would have been 130 bushel per acre corn. So do the math. Between deer turkeys crows coons they are over 1300 bags of corn. There's nothing left now. I can grow it way cheaper than I can buy 50# bags
Quietly killing turkeys where youre not!!! My tank full of give a fraks been runnin on empty I'm the paterfamilias

You can already hunt over corn legally if it is planted there so I personally see no difference. The foodplot is the same as corn to me also.

1.) The field is huge. The deer can come out anywhere and be out of range at all times. The pile of corn assures they will be right under your stand. 2.) The field is there 24/7 for months. Deer can come in the middle of the night if they choose. The field cannot be set on a timer to be available at 7:00am and 3:00pm. 3.) The field is in a fixed spot. As the season changes, and deer move into different areas, you cannot put the field in a bucket and bring it with you. It's there. 4.) Deer don't like standing out in the open in broad daylight. You can pour corn in the thickest of cover. 5.) Fields go through stages. Sometimes the greens are not palatable. Eventually, the deer burn it out. Corn can always be replenished, as needed, and it's always ripe. 6.) Food plots require spraying weeds, removing rocks, disc plowing the soil, putting down lime, planting seed, fertilizing and waiting......desperately hoping for the right mix of rain and sun and hoping you get a nice green field in several months. Bait is a little trip to the local co op.

They don't have to come when that timer goes off they can let it lay there till dark and just because you have to work harder to put a food plot in it doesn't make different.its still something man made to draw deer in. You can come up with all your reasons how they are different to make yourself feel better but at the end of the day they are the same thing

But if that what people want others to think of their great huntin' exploits, then yahoo! TV hunting has done some serious stupidfying of hunting for a quick buck (pun intended)!
