Yes I do.
Another consequence of baiting is back injuries from carrying multiple #50 bags of "Golden Akerns". Due to the illegality, many cases go unreported.
One "hunter" tumbled 200 feet down a ridge when he lost his balance and refused to drop his bag of corn, resulting in a lengthy hospital stay. Back page news these days, but talk about repercussions!

If baiting becomes legal in Tennessee, those who bait the most should be called just what they are...

There isn't any.
I own land. But nothing like going back 100 years to just property owners vote. You're an idiot.

Back in my high school days in NC, we had a "guard donkey" with our herd of goats to protect them from dogs and coyotes. My dad bought him from the Amish and he was broke to ride and pull a cart. During deer season, I'd put two bags of corn on his back and lead him down to where my tree stand was. Saved my back!!!!
Some of these folks have never had grain fed and grain finished venison and it shows! lol

I read an article not long ago that said hunting food plots is no more ethical than hunting over bait, (the authors opinion) . One thing for sure, baiting is a great way to get hunters to quarrel among themselves.. With CWD transmission being the way it is,, i really don't think its a good idea. Otherwise, i don't think it will have any impact on deer numbers. Tn has been trying to get harvest numbers up for years & nothing has worked.. It will take some kind of calamity to get the numbers up... The young folks just don't want to hunt like we did 50yrs ago!.

i don't think decline in bobwhite quail has anything to do with deer feeders.. Here, quail numbers began dropping off seriously back in the early 70's when deer hunting was more or less an exotic endeavor. Quail are gone because of habitat loss,, houses are now everywhere,, there just plain no place for them to flourish. The large tracts of land have been broken up in to numerous small plots that are developed in one way or another.. I seriously noticed grouse completely disappeared as turkey numbers grew.. Quail being gone is a land use issue,, not anything to do with a feeder.. at least not here in Hawkins county. Stocking of coyotes many years ago has not helped either.I'm sure the increased use of corn feeding/baiting is just one of many factors.
But it is a factor, and a factor we have a choice to either increase its detriments,
or reduce those detriments.
It is noteworthy that the decline in bobwhite quail has coincided with the rise in deer feeders doting the landscape.
If a single kernel of aflatoxin corn can kill an adult turkey, would presume even a tiny speck of cracked corn could kill a much smaller bird? Perhaps the increased use of "feeders" everyone is also a contributing factor in the decline of songbirds?
In my youth, not only were quail abundant, but we also had more songbirds, and spring, summer, and fall air was more full of their pleasant sounds. How many people on this site now have never heard the song of a meadowlark? The meadowlark's disappearance has been right along with the bobwhite quail's.

The sweet, lazy whistles of Eastern Meadowlarks waft over summer grasslands and farms in eastern North America. The birds themselves sing from fenceposts and telephone lines or stalk through the grasses, probing the ground for insects with their long, sharp bills. On the ground, their...www.allaboutbirds.org
Northern Bobwhite Overview, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology
An emphatic, whistled bob-white ringing from a grassy field or piney woods has long been a characteristic sound of summers in the Eastern countryside. It’s quite a bit harder to spot a Northern Bobwhite, as the bird’s elegantly dappled plumage offers excellent camouflage. They forage in groups...
Planting fields fence row to fence row has hurt the quail population as much as subdivisions. Still habitat loss, and it's from the change in farming practices where every inch that can be planted will be planted to maximize income as much as possible. I don't blame folks for trying to get as much return as they can, but it still contributes to the loss of habitat for quail and other species.
care to say how much??
so you like that the government can telll you what to do on your property????
If you are speaking of the illegal translocation of coyotes by some fox hunters many years ago to train their dogs on, I guess that could be considered stocking (although 100% illegal).
Otherwise, there has never been a legal stocking of coyotes in TN.
