Don't remember having a failed feeder crop?A lot of people on here today against feeders but have are over on the food plot thread on what to plant. Both methods are to get the same end result. JMO
I'm against both.

Look at the byproduct of each then tell me if it is the same. 0 chance of other wildlife being harmed from food plots, can't say the same thing about throwing corn down. yep both will get deer killed but other critters might die from the corn thrown on the ground.A lot of people on here today against feeders but have are over on the food plot thread on what to plant.

No thanks. I don't/won't hunt over bait.You don't know much about hunting Saskatchewan that has very low deer densities. Lol. You should try it sometime.
No it isn't, not even close.A lot of people on here today against feeders but have are over on the food plot thread on what to plant. Both methods are to get the same end result. JMO
We killed 11 deer on my place this year in TN... only 2 were killed on food plots (2 does same afternoon during ML to push the rest of the does off the plot as the clover was being overgrazed due to the drought and lack of growth. I plant plots to benefit the wildlife, attract deer from neighboring properties. The worst thing you can do for hunting success is actually kill deer on plots, as it makes them all nocturnal. I have hundreds of deer pics of 6 or 7 does just laying down in the middle of half acre plots at 2pm, because they know they are safe there.A lot of people on here today against feeders but have are over on the food plot thread on what to plant.

Not to call you out but ive seen several posts along these lines. The state/government tells you to do a million things and you comply or you'd be in prison. Prime example is paying taxes we are merely renting the land we "own" don't agree with government hardly at all but it is what it is. Get caught deal with the consequences.when the state/government pays my property taxes then and only then will i entertain the idea of whether i can throw corn out or not!!!
Oh…you're one of those holier than thou know it alls. Lol lm glad I grew up and matured a little and chose making memories and experiencing things across the world instead of living in a self absorbed bubble and pushing my personal ethics and views on others.No thanks. I don't/won't hunt over bait.

I'd first like to know how many that say they are against it that hunt over bait commonly called a food plot
Next to address others bait commonly called a food plot only is helpful to a small hand full of animals but is specifically targeted for deer with turkeys being an additional bonus This same bait site allows deer to interact socially so the spread of disease is a far greater risk here as this type of baiting is in common practice all over the state with 0% law enforcement over it
Next if your so well I'll leave that word out to think that if this other type of baiting was legal that the only food source that would be utilized would be corn instead of the crazy number of stuff out there that contains much higher protein, vitamins, minerals etc well your. Also to the ones that think corn has no nutritional value then why in the world is it the number one crop and utilized worldwide
Oh I forgot they argument that animals are so stupid they don't know to eat rotten and/or fermented food
Either quite playing the word game and ticket the food plotters or legalize all of it.
And I don't won't to here that crap planting and germination crap. If it's a non natural occurring food source then it's bait. If Mother Nature didn't put it there it's bait. If the big man upstairs didn't put it there it's bait. Deal with it
South Carolina's turkeys are in horrible shape. While I do understand that the turkey decline is a multifaceted problem, bait piles are absolutely contributing to it.Guess all your turkeys are dead , right ?

Tennessee doesn't exactly want to mimic the semi retarded "wildlife management" of SCDNR. Trust me. TWRA does a much better job and I'd like to see that continue.
Sure but the wildlife agency makes recommendations to the legislature so that they can pass new laws regarding management.Baiting in SC and NC are set by the politicians not the wildlife agencies
The agencies in both states can only regulate baiting/feeding on public lands and its outlawed there
Biologists have no authority over baiting on private lands in SC and NC except maybe when it comes to CWD management
Both states ban baiting for game birds but not deer
Corn is the most utilized, and unless made illegal, always will be, for two reasons:I'll leave that word out to think that if this other type of baiting was legal that the only food source that would be utilized would be corn instead of the crazy number of stuff out there that contains much higher protein, vitamins, minerals etc.
Mainly because it can be produced relatively cheaply in large quantity.Also to the ones that think corn has no nutritional value then why in the world is it the number one crop and utilized worldwide
Adult deer (unless they were starving) will actually stop eating fermented corn that's developed aflatoxin, which typically doesn't kill deer, just may upset their stomach, and replace or displace more nutritional food items they might instead be eating.Oh I forgot they argument that animals are so stupid they don't know to eat rotten and/or fermented food
Can it kill adult turkeys too? I've only read about it killing younger birds and I read somewhere an adult wouldn't succumb to it. Not that it matters, a young bird killed by aflatoxin never becomes an adult. Just curious if you've read that it can kill adult turkeys too.Birds are a very different situation. I single kernel of aflatoxin corn can kill an adult turkey. A tiny piece of aflatoxin cracked corn can kill a bobwhite quail or any songbird.
*In Joe Biden voice*... Come on man!! Having a college degree doesn't make anyone an authority on a topic, nor does not having one disqualify them from being knowledgeable on a topic.So many biologists, so few diplomas
