[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5848976, member: 20594"] After 7 pages its clear everyone has pretty much made up their mind and I'm amazed at how many people believe there is absolutely no difference in a bait pile and a food plot. Food plots done correctly can add diversity to a property, improve nesting cover, improve fawning ground and improve soil quality. A corn pile does nothing to help wildlife, zero...keep feeding coons and do nothing to improve turkey nesting habitat...that will help turkey numbers...and for those who dont believe aflatoxin is real...ask why does Texas requires certified aflatoxin free corn? In addition, deer eating too much corn too fast is not healthy...its not healthy for any animal. Ten minutes of research will show those who want to learn...the negatives of bait piles far outweigh any positives. There is a difference in managing habitat for all wildlife and doing whats best for the deer and turkey....verses serving our own singular interest of killing a deer or turkey....there are givers and there are takers. And as for the repeated theme of the "haves and the have nots"....if you can afford to buy bags of "deer corn" from walmart or TSC then you can afford a gallon of chainsaw gas. Work on some habitat improvements...Work on improving fawning cover...Work on turkey nesting and brooding cover...Work on simple throw and mow plots to help deer through late winter after the season is over. To improve the habitat takes some work but the return on investment is much greater than what you'll get from a truck load of corn. [/QUOTE]
