[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5850696, member: 11842"] And that's one of many problems we have with public land hunting here. Our National Forests and WMAs are all surrounded by private land full of corn piles. Whether it's hunt clubs or just a landowner hunting his land. Corn everywhere. Its also a reason that contributes to our turkey decline. I've talked to a lot of life long SC hunters who said when bait was legalized in the upstate area, I think it was in 2012, they immediately started seeing a turkey decline. I joined a hunt club one season just to see if it was better and it was a joke. Half of Iowa's corn harvest was dumped on the ground and since I had no interest in shooting a deer over corn or even near corn, I had almost nowhere to hunt. Furthermore, it is so bad that it really became a situation where if you weren't hunting the corn you didn't see deer. So I killed one doe that season, only saw a couple more, and decided to leave the club. I am so against it that I didn't want to financially contribute to something I opposed so strongly. And the hunting sucked for me anyway because I didn't want to hunt near bait. [/QUOTE]
