When you legalize baiting and have no enforced limits then it becomes about the number of squares in an area……Hunters will flock to good areas to occupy any square they can……and there’s a lot of little squares around Union Springs, Aberfoil, Midway, etc……I bet you that every black family in Bullock Co with a backyard has been approached by someone wanting to know if they can set up a feeder and hunt….I know this is happening because I get called out to track the deer that get shot on them and I see the feeders and corn piles for myself…..I wouldn’t call that “anecdotal”…..I just had a call a few days ago from a hunter on 2 acres that gut shot one that I had to turn down because of lack of permission on other properties.
I think everyone agrees with you that the 2 acres with a feeder are a big problem, but from an age structure perspective not total population issue.
