Both should be outlawed -
I feed during the post season to due cam studies - for a short time - until I'm pretty sure I'm seeing the family groups a couple of times and I know they're there -

IMO putting out a feeder and planting a food plot is one in the same. Your purpose for both is attracting a deer to a certain area to kill! The only difference would be if you actually planted a food plot and did not hunt it or anywhere around it! Same would go for a corn pile if you didn't hunt it or anywhere around it! although a corn pile seems to have health reasons involved with it as well. I think a food plot is alot safer health wise but a hunter's intentions are the same whether its a corn pile or a food plot!

The best article i have ever read on this subject came from the october 2008 issue of quality whitetails in which is published by the best deer biologist in the country associated within the QDMA.Heres some of the quotes from the article,..1. Although the potential relationships between feeding and disease transmission make beautiful theory,facts are rare and hard to obtain,...2. in the SE,our biggest killer remains HD, which has nothing to do with feeding or plots,.. 3. alot of arguments i hear for and against bait or plots strike me as shallow biologically,.. he adds there is disease risk,.. but thats anytime(anywere) deer eat were they defecate.
Heres some quotes on the attraction issue,...1.with baiting, we've found you don't need good habitat to draw and hold deer.Dump out some corn and you will draw deer from nearby good habitat where someone spent alot of time developing it...2. Although sceintifically it would be hard to determine if plots or bait are more powerful deer magnets, bait often dominates.
I could quote all day long from this article. AND yes,.. i picked quotes that i thought had merit. Point being,.. you can get information from one source ,.. but another source in which is just as reliable to tell you something different. Only you as a hunter can make your choice,.. and thats what it should be ,.. hunters choice!! And to make one last quote from the article,.. some biologist urge extreme caution with communicable diseases,.. just preferring a better safe than sorry approach. AND,.. IMO,.. some views here thats all it is. Just like in the original post ,.. feeding is not illegal til hunting starts. SO,.. according to the law ,.. its not feeding that is wrong,.. its hunting over it the law considers wrong. That is not a better safe than sorry approach,.. that is a ethics law. SO,. IMO ,.. either rewrite the law to control all feeding ,.. and back it up with facts to support the claim that feeding will for sure increase the risk of spreading disease in our herd to the point that it could cause critical consequeces,.. or kill the ethics law, and allow baiting by those who so wish.

I have often wondered why VDG&IF says feeding wildlife encourages EHD,CWD etc. Apparently these diseases are only comunicable from Sept.1 through Jan.4??
