Thundersnatch is back.
Should we tell her that the 'other' states have allowed baiting for deer for many years and the hunting is no good because of it?
All states don’t allow baiting deer, and many of the ones that do dont have the massive natural food sources Alabama has. Y’all may want to read the studies that have been done in how supplemental feed/ bait affects the hog populations, turkey disease rates, chronic wasting disease and South Carolina’s study of hunter success rates in areas where baiting is allowed vs. areas where prohibited.
But baiting isnt why I don’t give my money to Alabama, anyway. I’ve hunted Kentucky farms where bait was present and could have killed young bucks and does over the bait trough. Even though i don’t care too much about trophy bucks, I just choose not to take those opportunities. I’m more about the sport and the overall experience. I no longer care if someone shoots a deer over corn, I just won’t be giving y’all any high fives for your participation trophy kills.
