Ron, i would be willing to bet the guys with the biggest and best taken care of green fields and food plots are the same guys with the biggest and most feeders. Two pieces of the same puzzle.

maybe or maybe not. I'm a food plotting son of a gun. I plant spring, summer and fall and 95% of my hunting is on food plots but the only time I ever put out corn or rice bran is before or after the season in front of game cams

and in our case will have more damn hogs than we currently have and we have way to many now.

That may be the case IF you are the only one feeding in a very large area.

But, it will not make hogs appear out of thin air.
If ‘everybody’ baits the way people claim......they will stay well-distributed. It will actually nullify the effect of ‘baiting’.

Not that it matters here, but I did get an email today saying that the Georgia State Senate approved Bill 450. This removed the 200 yard and out-of-sight rule for their Northern Zone. Bill now has to go to the House.

Question for those opposed, saying that greenfields won’t matter any more, I have to bakt now since everyone else is, etc. Have you ever killed a deer off a greenfield (or in the woods eating acorns or other natural browse) and when you gutted it found corn in there? Obviously someone somewhere close by had corn out and the deer was still eating from the greenfield

Honestly shouldn’t affect deer movement. Corn doesn’t make em go nocturnal like everyone thinks. Those greenfields are there 24/7 and deer eat them at night as well.

I just don’t follow the logic behind some of the naysayers. Some, ok, I can understand their angle, others, just don’t make good sense

I'm opposed because (a) it makes hunting more expensive, as you will have to bait just to keep up with the Joneses, (2) it gives hunting a bad name, (3) it puts people in the woods more often to fill up feeders, thereby creating more "pressure," (4) the increased likelihood of diseases and predators.

And before you say that planting food plots can be keeping up with the Joneses, then consider how different those expenses are. It doesn't hit you every 7 days like a feeder does.

You must be using a crappy feeder to have to fill it once a week.

I am all for it.

If you search hard enough you might find a valid reason for not baiting but the four you listed are not valid. Number 4 is closest. Still if the bill passes no one HAS to bait. Have allowed baiting in Georgia, southern zone, for years and no ill effect on the deer. Likely all of Georgia will allow baiting next year as today the senate there passed a bill allowing it that now goes to their house.

This thing is all but a done meal. Buddy of mine has a friend in the know. Might buy some corn stocks because we think farmers are going to be planting more corn

There you go! Something else good coming from a baiting bill, it will help the farmers.

Won't affect corn usage. Already a bunch being used.

I sure hope it passes!! I enjoy supplemental feeding year around as well as providing the best food plots in the area. It's just another tool for us folks that are serious about providing our deer herd with the best opportunity to reach their maximum potential. A lot of you fella's are only seeing the negative side, trust me their is a positive to it becoming legal if you are willing to do it the right way.

Ats right.

Baiting sucks!!!!!
FN woos boys!!!

Everyone knows sweet taters is where's it's at!

So will you buy your corn at Dick's or Wal Mart?

I'm thinking both

You can have the corn and sweet taters, peanuts is where it's at.
