Majority of the dumbasses still couldn't kill a deer if baiting was legal from what I've seen on here

Bet folks pouring corn in a pile and hanging off a tree right on top of it to "harvest" a deer never dreamed it was all part of a management plan.

Putting out corn to "harvest" deer or turkeys is part of a habitat management plan. But that's illegal.

Putting out a food plot for 2.5 months to "harvest" a deer or turkey is part of a habitat management plan. But that's legal.

Same things. Same concepts. Same results - for the deer or turkey, but not the hunter if he gets caught.

I believe you have it figured out, Sir.

NOT the "same thing, same concept, same result " (talk about STUPID).

Corn is for losers who can't kill a deer without a pile of corn.

At least a Fall food plot provides deer a 7 to 8 month supply of food.

I’m with you. Apples & oranges

If you reduce the two to just harvesting deer , they are the same concept. I reckon a feller could keep his feeder filled 7-8 months or longer.

Thank you for your post. This thread was needing some comic relief and your post provided that.

A year-round or well-planned and established 7- to 8-month plot could or may provide some extra benefit. Never have disagreed about that.

But a plot created only for 2-3 months at the most to see/shoot deer before a guy lets it go fallow for 9 months is the same as putting out corn to see/shoot deer. There's no difference. Neither create genuine hunting situations - they're only ambushing and killing situations.

It all boils down to how people want to justify things and make themselves feel good.

We all know that quality habitat management provides high quality nutrition for wildlife 12 months a year. Planting food plots is just a tool to fill in seasonal gaps during late summer drought and late winter freezing when native browse is limited. How you can compare year round management to pouring a bag of corn on the ground is beyond me.

I'll will accept that as your confession that you are incapable of killing a deer or a turkey without using corn.

This isn't hunting:

Take it how you want, but I know the difference between a whitetail and mule deer.

While we are at it I want to be able to legally shoot a deer from or down a public road or highway. If the point is to just kill a deer, I should be able to just shoot them whenever and whereever I see them, day or night. Also there should be a year-round season with no bag limit.

Deer walk to an oak tree dropping acorns what's the difference? It's shooting a silly goat who cares why they walk up?

The bottom line is the difference is pretty simple. One requires the moral ethics to follow the law, planning, work, and patience. The other requires a lazy ass and willingness to violate the law.

Not much more complicated than that.

Of course high quality , year round plots are a superior management tool compared to just a corn pile in season. Any fool knows that. I have year round, high quality plots , when I hunt over them I view them as B-A-I-T !

There is absolutely NO way that the average AL food plot can provide higher quality food as consistently and efficiently as a gravity feeder.

So, drop the semantics.

I'll buy that . Average plot = a bag of ryegrass and a bag of 13-13-13, done.

I can't wait until my plots start pulling in big mule deer like the one in that picture
