[QUOTE="hammer33, post: 5847814, member: 19900"] Hmm interesting opinions and the reasons for them. Personally I think as long as you aren't dumping it in a pile to mold it doesn't matter. The row croppers on our farm rotate beans and corn. Deer, turkey, and small game feed on the wasted grains all winter, or as long as it lasts. How much different is that from running a corn slinger/feeder? Not much. Think about how much money is involved in the current non baiting deer culture. Food plots, fertilizer, lime, fire, timber management, consultants, spraying, tilling, $$$$$$$$ its a lot of money spent to "farm" deer. How much of that market share is at risk if baiting is allowed? Instead of spending a couple thousand dollars per season on food plots, you could buy a feeder for $200 and 10 sacks of corn at $8. So there is a huge institutional push back against baiting based NOT on herd health, but on $$$$ and market shares. I wonder how much of our "information" regarding baiting (well any subject actually) is really propaganda influenced by vested interests and NOT straight facts? [/QUOTE]
