Yep both………In many places they go hand in hand with one another……….but you may have a little blend of each situation happening from one area to another…….The smaller parcel sizes is what will have the most impact but even in areas where land ownership is a little bigger but deer habitat is reduced to smaller patches, I think you’re likely still gonna see some impact.
A good example is the area from Tallassee to Eclectic……The area is mostly cow pastures with interspersed blocks of deer habitat. There’s a limited amount of area for deer production but now that everyone can bait basically where ever……those limited deer get spread out and shot around any and every given pasture or back yard coming to corn. I’ve tracked a lot of deer in that area and others like it where people are hunting in spots that really wouldn’t have been productive without the corn pile.
Are they killing these deer at night? I ask because it’s been said on here that baiting makes the deer go nocturnal. I so confused. I don’t know what to believe.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.
