Is piling food on the ground in order to concentrate feeding deer a good idea, just as a saliva borne highly contagious, fatal, disease is becoming a major factor in deer herds in the SE, a good idea?
That's the kind of question that the state of Alabama will put together a task force to answer. They'll have it figured out in a decade or so, I'm sure.
Used to be a lifeguard, until that blue kid got me fired.

Sometimes I think all this bickering about what somebody else does is stupid . Corn , cameras and live scopes aid a lot of people that use to could not kill and catch. It's legal and I don't like either one of them.

It is not a good idea. Most people bait with corn too and it will lead to an unhealthy population because they rather have the Miller lite than good food.

I liked it better when it was free, and you just had to move your corn pile to the left a little, so it was outta sight. It took a really good hunter to figure out how to hide that corn pile a hundred yards from you and be outta sight and still be able to see every deer coming from any direction to get to it!

Dang NIL and corn feeders ruined everything !! 🤣🤣🤣
I got to thinking - out of the 8 matures i got - only 3 of them hav daylighted 🤣🤣🤣. And i thought some more - i hav never shot a mature in this lease with his head in a feeder. Buck i shot this year was making scrape in tree line and last year was running does. And when i use to run cams at my bottom field - 2-3 days out of the year - my good one would daylight amd that field basically goes unhunted! Boy he gonna be easy to kill 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I guess it depends on the level of tame you got! Mine prob so spooky cause they been night hunted for generations
And my good hunt yesterday - none of them went to the feed. Does that make me a bettr hunter without the aid of corn? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If bait and cell cams were not a thing I think a good majority of folks would quit, because they aren’t good enough hunters to be successful without the help. Yep. It turned a lot of folks into hunters all of a sudden. Especially bow hunters

It’s a money grab just like the additional saltwater fees. And it’s also a damn if you do and damn if you don’t. So DCNR knew that the majority of hunter$ would.

I know this has probably been said already....
Real or imagined biological impacts notwithstanding - it definitely leveled the playing field for those scenarios where neighbors were illegally baiting (with no hope of getting caught) and negatively affecting the adjacent lawful hunters. At least now, you have a choice to do it or not.
You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle Dixie?

I don’t care about baiting as I rarely deer hunt but the cell cameras are a pita. Pull over to take a wiz and you’re bound to be on someone’s camera

I got a new member in club we have had for 30 years. He killed 2 studs first year. Maybe we ain't the hunters we think we are . I know I am old and don't dwell on killing trophies. I got to much life going on

Alabamas crooked DCNR is in it for the money, not for the wildlife at all. I feel it's against nature and no worries because nature will take care of itself. I am against baiting and have been since day 1.

Alfa lobby tells the political folks what to do including the the dept of conservation. They want every deer dead. They have controlled policy on deer hunting for years. That’s why the season is so long.

You’re damn right it’s true. Insurance companies in general try their hardest to push for extended seasons and liberal limits. Deer collisions total over 1 billion yearly in this country. I used to work in that industry, its definitely a big concern for the bottom line. Alfa lobby tells the political folks what to do including the the dept of conservation. They want every deer dead.

Carrier profits are controlled by premium rate approvals by state insurance departments. Carriers simply adjust rates to reflect risk and loss ratios but margins remain mostly consistent.
