Yes and they spread deer out not nose to nose increasing the risk of spreading CWD faster,
I hate to tell ya but, deer are nose to nose a whole lot of the time, way more than just when they are eating! You will not slow down the spread deer are to social of an animal . Not for or against the whole bait fiasco, its a false narrative to think we can do anything about cwd!
 
If I thought you were really that stupid, I would answer you.
Bait, white oaks, mineral licks, and food plots all congregate deer into a certain area. The only exception would be food plots and acre or bigger. I've hunted over small plots and bait in Georgia. They both put deer feeding in close proximity and they both feel dirty. I won't hunt either again.
 
Having hunted in Texas where baiting is prevalent, i think this is NOT a way to manage the herd. the successful ranches that allow it, have a robust management structure in place. Those that dont get decimated. If the state is going to take on herd management, like Texas as done through their Managed Lands for Deer Program, then allow it everywhere. Otherwise leave it alone.

My lease was an MLDP Lease. 1800 acres, 7 guns. We HAD to take 7 bucks, and 11 does year over year to stay in the program. When we spun corn, our hog population exploded. When we did things better, i.e. feeding cotton seed, protein, etc, we got better bucks.
