If you hunt corn piles you’re going to see does and bucks younger than 3.5 years old I understand that. Not many people wanted this to fail more than me. But now it's passed so...

A few people who run clubs Ive talked too briefly about it over the past few weeks are probably going to raise their standards of what size or age of bucks they are going to take and try and limit the amount of younger bucks taken. Also talked about areas where no corn would be allowed at all, or not allowed on fields, or at least be 100 yards away so those who didnt purchase the permit could hunt without worry of ticket.

If you hunt corn piles you’re going to see does and bucks younger than 3.5 years old This is not a true statement, if you shoot every deer that comes to the feeder your gonna have a lot of pressure and you will probably won’t see anything. If you’re selective and kill only the deer you’re wanting to kill you will see mature bucks. I’ve personally done it several times. Hunting over corn or green field is no difference especially if there is little to no pressure. For all you guys hunting in a club, you need to make rules about this before the season starts. If you don’t want to hunt over corn don’t join a club that does. If you do then hunt a club that does. It’s not really that difficult guys. As far as someone baiting a spot and some other member hunting over it, well it is what it is unless the club assigns a area for each member to let each member bait as they wish.

I had read earlier that the 100 yard rule still applied just like before to those who didnt buy the permit. I guess we will know in a few days what the bill actually contains and its wording. Its going to be a interesting year for sure. Even if you do make areas of no corn, or clubs that may decide not to use corn at all, you will always have "that one guy" whos going to do it anyway even though he knew the rules going in.

I think clubs will have to be all in on baiting or all out. Anyother way will cause a ton of problems. I agree and thats why the guys I spoke too were going to go along with it and just up their requirements to older or larger bucks.

Or say X member has been putting corn in a clearcut all year. Other guy hasn't bought first bag but hunts the other guys bait pile Monday thru Friday while X is at work? I see lots of problems So, you've found some new drama to create at your hunting club? Wonderful...

Does the law only apply to privately managed land? I'm assuming a guy couldn't tote a bag of corn into a WMA or national forest land but maybe so? private land only is what i read earlier but who knows till we see the finalized version in print. Or say X member has been putting corn in a clearcut all year. Other guy hasn't bought first bag but hunts the other guys bait pile Monday thru Friday while X is at work? I see lots of problems So, you've found some new drama to create at your hunting club? Wonderful... Oh thats coming. its a given.

Sooooo....A guy puts out corn in a clearcut all year long but another member hunts it while the other guy is at work? Tough schit!!! What are you going to tell him that is your clearcut??? Come on man, it isn’t all about you and the $5.00 you spent on the corn!!
My land has basically one rule, do not be selfish in your hunting efforts and do not disrupt anyone else’s hunt by being selfish. If you don’t want someone hunting where you have “a spot” then either get your own lease or buy some land. Now as for clubs, if money has already been paid, there could be a problem this season with those not wanting to hunt near corn. However, clubs should decide how they are going to handle it for the next year.
As for me, I will do anything to help the wildlife, supplemental feeding is just one part of the equation. I will take food plots and mineral stations all day over corn. Right now the bucks are hammering the minerals. If you really want good deer, go hop on a tractor and put out some soybeans or cow peas right now. Those of you who have been fortunate enough to have been able to chase white tails in other states know as well as I do that corn is not a magic potion. You don’t just pour it out and expect 160” bucks to come running. In Alabama, our bucks for the most part tend to be much more sensitive to pressure. So I don’t believe that corn is going to change that. You will definitely see deer more consistently but as far as seeing big bucks, it could go either way. Having said that, I have in fact killed big bucks in Texas where corn was being slung. Different deer, different habitat.
Hunting brings out the worst in people.

I have killed 2 bucks and they have killed a few truckloads of them. Some of these were 160"+, and one was over 200" . Not one of them has been shot at a feeder.

Of course, you would never see a mature buck like this 5.5 year old at a corn pile - or this 6.5 year old - Or this one standing right beside my feeder - That’s because those Texas and Georgia deer are stupid an Alabama deer won’t come with in 300 yards of a feeder in the day light

Ok so I see it passed. How are clubs going to handle this now. Not likely but just say 18 people on 1800 acres and each puts out 2 corn piles. Then you have feeders on 10 fields. How much are deer gonna move? I wouldn't allow feeders on any fields or within sight of a club owned stand if you want to bait do it in the woods and away from every body else. pretty much just keep on doing what everyone has been doing when it was not legal. If I did have club owned feeders no one would be allowed to hunt them to keep down the bitching.

And we all know people in clubs follow rules Most clubs could make that rule and put up the feeders and by 2nd weekend of season there would be shooting lanes cut and stands 25 yards from the feeder, or feeders up and moved closer to the fields.

So what does the new law say about hunting hogs over bait?

So what does the new law say about hunting hogs over bait? If you buy the baiting privilege license, you can do it. It still has to be signed (or not vetoed) by the Governor to become law.

I for one am not pleased with the bill passing. I run a club and this is going to be a struggle. I am concerned that we will lose more of our mature bucks as a result of being able to hunt over bait and on the flip side, I don't want to lose members because I don't allow hunting over bait. We have had feeders set up in designated locations following the old law but this just creates too damn many problems. I plan to wait and see what the bill actually says once the gov signs into law. I know other states like Kentucky, Georgia and Texas allow it they all have trophy bucks taken consistently, but I just don't consider it hunting one bit. At least with food plots, you have to work the land and grow the crop, putting a feeder and climbing a tree next to it doesn't take much skill of any kind.
I am sure our neighbors will be taking advantage of the new law so we will have to compete for the deer. I guess they are probably more worried about us than we are about them since we have 13 members and some don't mind spending the big $$$. This could turn into Game of Thrones real quick.

If you hunt corn piles you’re going to see does and bucks younger than 3.5 years old Your knowledge on this subject is a joke. Like always This is correct as was noted in ALABAMABUCKBASHER first post. You hunt right and not reason not to kill any size, age, or type of deer with or without "baiting".

I dont see any problem with it. Folks have been doing it illegally like crazy. Now its legal and people have a choice. Its hunting and they bait all over the country. From NH to SC, Ga , Florida from Texas to Nebraska. Let folks do what they want. Plant food plots, bait, both if the want. Use bows, crossbows or rifles. Really..why make a big deal out of it. Im not going to. I did see 257 post corn prices were down though, so i approached my neighbor who has HUGE silos of corn...and bought it all above market but not NEAR as high as Im gonna charge the masterbaiters. See? You have to look for the silver lining in the cloud. Hes making money, and Im making money, the baiters can pull up, we will open the chute and fill their trucks up. Everyones happy!

So what does the new law say about hunting hogs over bait? If you buy the baiting privilege license, you can do it. It still has to be signed (or not vetoed) by the Governor to become law. 10-4 Thanks for the info.
Old enough to know better but still too young too care!

If you hunt corn piles you’re going to see does and bucks younger than 3.5 years old You are truly an idiot
