I personally hope it doesn't get legalized. What is wrong with just getting out there and learning how to hunt? The actual act of killing is just a small part of the equation. You actually have to hunt before you get to kill. I guess some want to hunt and others just want to kill.

That's what we have depredation permits for.

The depredation permits does nothing for a club lease.
Already checked on it.

Good points BGG,said it for years,its not the slam dunk people say it is.Plus,I dont want to have to buy corn to compete with the neighbors.Wonder why many people on this forum think legal baiting is on its way in TN?

I attended a seminar given by a well known bow hunter, with many trophy bucks to his credit. I was surprised to hear him say that he puts out corn nearly all year in order to help pattern , and hold bucks. He stated that he did not bait during hunting season though.

Too many hunters owe their success to feeding and even baiting.
I'd like to bring them down to hunt the Hatchie Bottoms with me and the Chaney Lake bunch and let them see what hunting IS all about.
IMO.........Hunting is using your skill and knowledge to place yourself in a animal's natural daily patterns and successfully harvest that animal.....
Drawing deer to you and holding them there is not hunting.....IMO.
With that being said, feeders don't necessarily draw deer to you like you may think. Only the deer using your area anyway will benefit. Unless food is so scarce that deer have to travel long distances to survive, they won't travel too far just to visit a feeder, IMO.
Hunting the Hatchie Bottoms (the deep Bottoms and not the agricultural fields along the edges)is a pleasure and a true hunting experience...IMO.
I feel sad that not everyone can experience it......I feel that most here might quit deer hunting if they had to hunt like we do on Chaney Lake simply because so many here want baiting to be legal..........
Not a bash, but more an opinion based on all the pro-baiters on here....
