[QUOTE="13pt, post: 5853144, member: 19602"] Ok, so two of the six you've mentioned fall under "detriment to the health of wildlife" as I've stated. I've acknowledged the "susceptibility to predation" is a separate list item. "Turf wars between hunters"? I've been hunting, and/or managing leases since they first became a thing in TN in the 80s. Since the era of ATVs, trail cameras, leasing of land, etc...turf wars between hunters have become the norm, unfortunately. I hunt in KY, where it's legal to bait. Feeding corn doesn't even hit the list of what creates "turf wars." "Reduced daylight deer movements"? As many have mentioned here, deer don't live by corn alone, and in fact, when the acorns hit the ground, they won't be at your corn pile much at all...and the same applies to your food plots. By far and away, the number one thing that reduces daylight movement is when the hunters hit the woods over and over. "Increased competition between deer at bait sites"? I'm not sure of your intended meaning here, but if I'm interpreting it correctly, then it would equally apply to mineral licks and food plots. I don't see how your first three belong on that list.
