300gr brought up a good point in another thread about those with more money can buy more feed, and will probably have more deer.

I can see some issues coming up between neighbors if it's legal, especially if one neighbor can afford 20 times the corn than the other. It's going to un-level the playing field for alot of people.


Well..as much as I hate to say it..I agree.

I have had to hunt AFTER the "supplemental feeding" law and saw a big difference. I hunt with a guy from here...and we saw a huge difference.
We had neighbors hammering deer off corn. and the deer got really skittish, nervous, and much less daytime sightings. And I started hunting there in 2005...3-4 of us...8 pt or better 3 1/2 years old or better. The difference was HUGE!

The one group got busted shooting them off corn piles. I watched many deer cross their line headed to a corn pile and just get hammered.
Yall might remember me posting about it 2 years ago. They ALL got busted..hunting over bait, hunting without permission( they were on our land,,theirs had very few trees, hunting while intoxicated, hunting with no license..etc.)
They were back last year doing the same...every deer that went to their corn..died.
So Id like to be able to at least compete with that.

Id rather see it legal then the joke it is now!
