Yep, I look at it as pure laziness. You gotta earn it, and that is the fun/satisfying part. besides think of what you're missing by sitting over the same corn pile every hunt.

Not BSK but...

(FYI - these are simply a few of many examples.)

- Behavioral Impacts - Deer adjust their feeding behaviors according to the supplemental feed. Some may even decrease their diurnal feeding and go to strictly nocturnal feeding patterns.

- Physiological Impacts - Ozaga and Verme showed excessive neonatal mortality among 2 and 3 year old females as crowding increased in fed populations.

- Increased Parasite Loads - The density of animals in a group and the frequency of their contact is correlated to the spread of disease and parasites (Martin et al. 1987, Thrusfield 1997).

- Increased Disease Spread - The increased spread of Bovine brucellosis, Bovine tuberculosis, and CWD can all be attributed to supplemental feeding (various researchers).

- Decreased Hunter Success Rates - A South Carolina study discovered hunter success rates were lower in areas of the state where baiting was allowed versus areas where baiting was illegal (Ruth 2007).

- Non-target Species Concerns - Supplemental feeding does not target only one species. Corn often supplied for deer has resulted in high turkey mortality when aflatoxin infects the bait site. Many other furbearers are negatively affected by feed sites.

- Human Conflict - The enjoyment of one may be the nuisance of others. Many complaints are registered when folks feed wildlife. Often times neighbors that don't want the animals around experience damage to their property.

- Human Safety Concerns - Improperly placed feed sites may increase automobile collisions.

- Wildlife Habituation - A fed bear is a dead bear. Enough said.

- Not Accepted - Probably the most important fact is it is widely frowned upon by the hunting and non-hunting communities.

I could actually list more but I really got get working on something else.

Yup! Shooting an animal over a pile of corn isn't hunting. Shooting yes, but not hunting.

Same thing could be said about a corn field...to me, there isn't any differents

Guess that all depends on how big the field is. Try getting a mature buck to come out within 30 yards of your stand in a 50 acre corn field. They always seen to come out on other end of the field. With corn in a pile they will always come to the same spot. Big difference!!

No sir. It doesn't matter if you have a pile 30 yds or a 50 acre corn field, you are still hunting over an attractant/bait. Oh BTW, bucks don't always walk out on the other side of the field
