[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5848825, member: 11842"] Absolutely not. It's terrible all around for wildlife. It's one of the things I hate the most about South Carolina. Everyone and their mother pours corn on the ground here to kill deer. Literally zero hunting skill needed, just shoot at the corn. Seriously this place is 2nd to Texas. My 6 yr old daughter knows more about hunting than all these corn pile guarders. Take it from a guy who has lived in SC for 4 years and seen the absolute piss poor quality of hunting as well as talked to many lifelong residents who watched deer and turkey hunting rapidly decline in the upstate once baiting was legalized. [LIST] [*]Feeds turkey nest predators like coons and possums thus propping up their population [*]Feeds hogs, they eat a lot of it. So you'll also be propping up their population. [*]Concentrates larger predators like coyotes wanting to ambush deer [*]Great for spreading communicable diseases (you want extended CWD rifle seasons statewide?) [*]Significant impact on deer movement [*]Rots and produces enough aflatoxin to kill turkey poults and quail [*]Pulls game animals off public land [*]No nutritional value for the deer. They are better off eating green food plots, browse, and acorns [*]Negative impact on survival/foraging instincts that wild game is supposed to have. Wild animals should stay wild. [/LIST] I can not think of one positive outcome of dumping piles of corn on the ground for the overall health of a wild game herd in any state. All it does it make it incredibly easy to kill a deer for lazy people. The only time corn should be dumped on the ground is if it's in a hog trap. [/QUOTE]
