Might have been the 90s I don't know if that was a thing in the 80s I just heard stories about it

Ah, yeah. Dog and man drives for deer have been "a thing" for about 100+ years in the Southeast.


On another site I heard someone bitching about how food plots "have become popular in the last 20 years or so." Food plots have been around for 40+ years. All this stuff ain't new.

Now I do feel like an old man. Dammitman/cornbreadhell.

No I didn't mean anything towards you. I just replied to the whole thing because that was the closest one available. nothing intended towards you. sorry for the mistinterpretation.

Let me guess, your eyes are brown...

Cool.

I'm going hunting if it passes or not

What I have come to realize is that 90% of the ones against Baiting are the ones that are doing it and do not want their neighbors pulling their deer away from them!!! I hope it passes!!

Who said huntin was supposed to be fun? I thought you were supposed get up way before daylight, go climb a tree in freezing weather and sit motionless for hours. See some decent bucks, but pass on them because they do on TV. LOL

Ok, so does anyone know when day 17 is? When is next action? I need to know when to buy my corn stock

They are back in session at 10 AM today, but I don't know if it will be brought up. Like somebody else said, there are a handful of senators that are blocking the bill thus far. Hard to believe a bill that past the house by close to 80% vote and has already past the committee vote in the senate by a 6-1 vote can't even get to a senate vote.

It's just politics as usual. Nothing new or different than with other bills.

Not enough money being "donated" to the right senators to get their votes. The CornWars Lobby isn't getting the job done, obviously.

It has passed the House in each of the last three years and has died each year in the Senate without a vote. No reason to expect it will be different this year.

So what does that mean? If you look at the status, it looks like it has passed everything and waiting on the Senate Vote. Does that mean it sits and dies?

Email or call your senator.

I just did with support to get this to the floor for a vote.

Yes it does, if the senate never brings it to a vote or bringing it to a vote is blocked by a select group that is against it. Lots of bills sit and die and never get voted on. If politicians were required to vote on every bill, there would be a lot of them get voted out of office. A lot of controversial stuff never comes up for a vote because politicians dont want their positions on the subject to be a matter of public record so that it can be used against them when they run for re-election. Barack Obama voted "present" (never yes or no) on pretty much every vote that came up when he was a senator for that very reason.

That just proves that senators have more woodsmanship than representatives.

Would like to urge my senator to support but his information shows no email and phone number did not except text, District 31 Jimmy Holley for Coffee, Dale, Pike, and Covington.

Well, after reading the last couple of pages of this thread, I see that sportsmanship and woodsmanship are truly a thing of the past. SMH. Ultimately, I don't see how this will be good for the future of hunting. Apparently, most folks these days want deer hunting to be like a video game, instant gratification. SMH...

i bet all these anti corn master woodsmen have high doller clubs they hunt in.

I bet if it passes we will all need a higher dollar club with less members to be worth a crap.
