[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5853167, member: 1409"] Two states that currently allow "legal" killing of deer over "bait" are Texas and Kentucky. [U][B]From an overall perspective[/B][/U][B], would you personally prefer to be a resident of either Texas or Kentucky, and be limited to only being able to deer hunt in your [U]resident[/U] state? If you say "no", why not?[/B] Just making a couple more points, 1st, the grass always seems greener on the other side of that fence, but often isn't. Secondly, Texas & KY have some significant differences compared to TN. In Texas, their very arid, non-humid climate greatly decreases the risk of aflatoxin. In Kentucky, they have firearm (gun & muzzleloader) deer seasons that are [U]less than half as many days to hunt[/U] as what we have in TN. Texas has a 2-buck annual limit; KY as a 1-buck annual limit. Compared to Tennessee, what does it cost to lease hunting land in either Texas or Kentucky? Am here to tell you, one reason hunting leases are more expensive in both Texas & Kentucky is due to their legalizing killing deer over bait. I suspect part of the political push to legalize killing over bait in TN comes from some well-connected wealthy land-owners (and middlemen leasing agents & real estate brokers of "hunting" lands) trying to increase prices for hunting leases for some large land owners. [B]As always, [/B][I][B]"follow the money".[/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
