[QUOTE="Fitchj13, post: 4172827, member: 9011"] I come from Louisiana. Hunted there, ark, Ms, and Tx before moving here. Hunted over food plots (.25 to 500 acres), corn feeders, mineral licks, sweet potatoes- you name it. I also hunted between bedding areas and bait or other food areas. I hunted draws, pinch points, transition areas, etc. That said - I do not consider it a lack of effort , knowledge, etc to hunt over corn or other 'bait'. I do not see any difference in those than small food plots or mineral licks or spiking acorn trees to make the acorns sweeter. Found that alot of nicer bucks treat feeders just like food plots and skirt the area until dark - unless the area is not pressured. And deer eat persimmons, then acorns first - will completely ignore other "bait". I could call out all non traditional recurve bow hunters lazy, etc. I mean, who can't sit out somewhere and pop a deer at 300 yards with a rifle - yeah boy, that takes all sorts of effort. And FYI - I utilize all hunting seasons - just making a point. Keep in mind that there are some places where you can not or are not allowed to put in any food plots. Or for those of us who are married, with kids, and dont have the luxury of a big lease with alot of people right down the road that can maintain food plots cause we don't have the time to devote to it - or when that 2 acre food plot did not take or burnt up...... That means you are limited to just salt/mineral licks and can't supplement 365 days. I just don't see what the issue is. Okay - rant over. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
