[QUOTE="Snake, post: 5849809, member: 7051"] I know I said I was going to quit responding to this thread so please forgive me but I do have a question or maybe a couple . I did vote yes for baiting as known but can live without because I have. Some have gave somewhat legitimate comments to why we shouldn't bait and are most likely right . I've been told that baiting could kill deer and more likely turkeys with mold that gets on the bait and I'm not doubting that but not 100 % convinced. So here's the question. What about those that just feed the wildlife , same as baiting except they don't hunt the wildlife ? What about farmers that spill extra corn on the ground by harvesting their crop , not all are gobbled up once it hits the ground so some could get mold on it especially if the weather is right for it ? Now we are told baiting could be a culprit for congregation to bait site for CWD which I can't doubt but so is the other examples I mentioned ! We don't want the state (government) involved and I agree but how will TWRA stop those two examples I mentioned if the state isn't involved ? Can TWRA enforce civilians or non hunters to abide by the no " bait" law and no feeding the wildlife period ? If your going to enforce no baiting because it's bad for the wildlife then go about it the right way and stop it 100 % or try to anyway ! Even the way I voted makes no difference to how I feel about the wildlife because I care 100% about them . [/QUOTE]
