BAIT OR ATTRACTANT

"How the deer got in the flannel shirts and jeans I'll never know."

(With apologies to Groucho Marx)

Funny when I read it again. Getting in the shirts/pants proved less challenging than trying to operate buttons with hooves.

Deer 1: "I can't get these jeans zipped with my hoof.
Deer 2: "Let me try my antler."
Deer 3: "Dear God, no."

Your right , its almost just as easy to play the wind and watch deer trails, for my situation I am taking down attractant , they are there just a little tricky because there is a lot of trails in the heavy bushes/trees/briars.HONEST AND FAIR IS MUCH BETTER AND LEGAL.

We put corn down every year, not to hunt over but to try to get an inventory of what's in the area. We stop putting corn out around September and we don't hunt the spots where we've had corn. We also put minerals out but again, we don't hunt those areas.

I don't have an ethical problem with baiting provided it is done lawfully. There is no way to do that in Indiana so I have a problem with baiting here but in states where it is allowed I'm fine with it. I'd prefer to see a good, clean kill on a deer that was standing at a bait pile than a crap shot taken and a deer walking through a neighborhood with an arrow sticking out of it's face. You want to talk about a bad rap for hunters, that'll do it.

Like with most things, we like to eat our own. "do it my way or you're ________". Follow the law, other than that hunt however makes you happy. In Indiana that means no bait.

Not to get too much off track, but I've never understood the difference between a food plot (legal) and baiting (illegal). Does a food plot have to be plowed under or otherwise destroyed a certain amount of time before hunting season begins?

I've been invited down to GA for their black bear hunt... On a deer lease.

In that county (or maybe statewide?) it's legal to hunt deer over bait. But it isn't legal to hunt the bear over bait. But the bear know where the deer bait is - and they do their best to ravage those feeders.

So now I don't know what to do about it. LOL

If you have time, plant an apple tree - that is NOT considered baiting. I think it is funny that many of the same people critical of the unsportsmanlike behavior of baiting deer, consider it perfectly OK To hunt bear over bait.

Would you rather eat green oatmeal or a stack of jelly donuts dipped in molasses?

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

You figured?
Yup, only an Indian could do something like that.

I'd rather have bacon, but that really doesn't address my question.

Just ask a farmer to leave a small patch of corn up and hunt around it.
