But unfortunately in TN we have laws that allow some to bait and others not bait. The law should read no bait on property, period! When it was changed to a hunter cannot hunt within or shoot within a 250 yard radius of bait,it was a mistake. That is still baiting! The law makes it possible for large land holders to attract and hold deer on their property with said bait, preventing deer from free ranging for food sources. That's baiting IMO.When the neighbor next door has 500 acres with spin feeders going off every hour in the middle of that property, the guy with 50 acres next door don't have a prayer. Either make it legal for everyone, or illegal for everyone.scn":1qs61tzi said:PillsburyDoughboy":1qs61tzi said:scn":1qs61tzi said:I really don't care about the ethics of the debate. I have never seen any element of hunting skills coming into play sitting on a field over a bait pile. You may get to test your shooting abilities, but it has very little to do with ANY hunting skills.
I hunt for the challenge of it. The results are very secondary for me. I'd rather be considered a hunter than a master baiter.
Do you hunt over a food plot that you have no intention of harvesting for personal consumption?

No, I don't, but I do see a great deal of difference in a grown food plot and a bait pile.
But, fortunately in TN we have laws that make baiting illegal. And as such, those that do it are poachers in the same category as spotlighters and other violators. I'll be there to fight any change to such laws.
