Group "A" a hunting club with 1000 acres. . The neighbors plant food plots and make sanctuaries. Keeping the deer on their land. They use cameras to locate where the bucks travel and to see where the biggest ones are so they wont have to scout as much plus they have drawn deer to stay on their land. When the rut rolls around they will have most the does and because of the cameras no exactly where to find them. This brings in even more bucks.

Group "B" the hunter who lives next to Group A's 1000 acres. He has 50 acres, no fields covered in hickory, sweet gum and beech but no oaks. He has limited income. His chances of seeing a nice buck are very low. If allowed to put out bait he increases his chances of pulling some does even if temporarily to his land. Now the big buck normally won't get caught at the bait until after daylight even if a doe is in estrus. But now the hunter can back off the pile and figure out his best spot to catch a buck following a doe or waiting on dark.

Group "C" is on the opposite side of group B and they throw out corn illegally.

Difference in these groups one has money and one has nothing to draw the deer and one is hunting Illegally.

Baiting becomes legal and the playing field is equaled out at least a little.
actually,if that is your situation,sounds like you could figure out how to catchem going back and forth between the big money food plot guys \:\) and the illegal corn guys \:\)

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 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...
