I'm not pro baiting. However, I find it amusing that some people will hunt near food plots, and claim they have superior hunting skills, and are somehow more ethical, legality aside. I have hunted timbered property with no agriculture in miles. I have also hunted agricultural ares, and food plots. On the average you will see 2 or 3 times more deer on the property with food plots. That's why hunters plant food plots. If their skill was sufficient alone, they wouldn't need food plots.

I really don't see the difference from hunting over or near food plots and throwing out corn. If one is legal than the other should be or do away with food plots....both are feeding the deer.
JMO I see a differenc when bow hunting at least,2 acre food plot,or a 4 foot square pile of corn?Which would be easier to kill a deer off of when bow hunting.?
Ok then change it to guns.Now whats the difference football?Both bait and corn are designed to draw deer to small areas.With a gun I don't see much of a difference at all.

your right dr,big woods hunting is tough,you gotta be good and lucky for that to work out very often.I will say,I do think my plots keep deer around,but they also give em a good food source all year,today is a great example.If I was pouring out corn,I wouldnt be today.BTW there were 5 deer killed on my place this year,none in the ffod plots.

No difference,but if a plac e is hunted much,deer dont show in foodplots very much during the daytime,but my food plots are still there,feeding them today ,have about 31/2 acres,would take a whole lot of corn to replace that.

Make you a list titled "benefits to deer" with 2 columns on it. One side falls under food plots/agricultural fields and the other under bait piles. See any difference in the two?
Make you another list titled "hunting tips" with the same 2 columns as above. How many items did you list under bait piles?
Point being...it's not hunting. It's shooting. Big difference.

I don't see much difference between food plots, and baiting. I have plots on my property. They attract deer from surrounding properties, and help hold them on yours. If superior hunting skills, and woodsmanship alone were adequate to take deer consistently, then most of us wouldn't use trail cams, minerals, food plots, or baiting.

Because feeding deer is already legal as is food plots and mineral licks, etc...
