[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5360155, member: 2805"] personally, I'm not opposed to responsible feeding (feed off the ground, limited amounts during summer, trapping the extra raccoons feed produces, etc). I don't do it because it's a waste of $$$ and it artificially increases raccoon populations that I have to remove, but if someone wants to feed responsibly, I'm ok with it. BUT, the problem is very few people feed/ bait responsibly... at any given time on my lease, folks are illegally dumping corn out on the ground in 50-100lb increments (which is not completely eaten by the time it begins to mold). Even those using spin cast feeders put 200lbs in at a time, allow a little water to get in the feeder which causes it to develop mold, etc. Because it seems noone down here can bait/ feed responsibly, I would rather it be banned altogether myself. Irresponsible baiting certainly causes much more harm than good. I'm actually glad we have a black bear on my lease now... he's going to destroy the feeders and hopefully discourage the other members from baiting this next season. [/QUOTE]
