Lets all get together as a hunting community and file a lawsuit against Walmart for putting our wildlife in harms way since we all know how unhealthy feeding the deer is to the heard. Seriously look what's it done to ky heard. It's terrible just simply terrible 
I buy bait there to put in front of my cameras but that doesn't mean I hunt over it.
THE LIABILITY SHOULD BE ON THE BAITER, NOT THE STORE THAT SUPPLIES THE BAIT

The reason they only sell it during the season is because that's when it's bought. It's legal in tn to have feed out anyway just can't hunt over it..

X2.... I see that stuff at Wally world and shake my head, but to each thier own. And I don't believe that everyone that buys it uses it illegally. The people that do use it illegally, well I'm sure that TWRA will eventually meet up with them.
I really take pride that I don't "bait", and, by that I mean no food plots either. I just try to hunt nature's food sources...and the rut!

Its no difference in hunting over a crop field or a food plot. [/quote]
Seriously? This is your logic? I'm going to go out on a limb and bet you probably hunt KY over a big pile of yeller akerns. You obviously have never planted a crop in a field or food plot. Lord have mercy......
By the way, I'm not in favor of baiting.

There is very little to no differnce in hunting over a 1 acre food plot in the middle of the woods than there is hunting over a pile of corn�the only difference in hunting over the plot is the fact that it makes the person "feel" better due to the fact that they have put work into create an area that is unnatural and entices deer to alter their travel routes to come to that specific area. A 25-100+ acre ag field is completely different from that 1 acre "plot" in the woods. In all my years I have never seen small patches of brassicas, wheat, clover, etc... growing wild in the woods

X2. Even though I have access to only small parcel of private land, I choose not to plant food plots for the same reason... woodsmanship and nature.

Same here, with only a small parcel of private land to hunt(all wooded) I choose to hunt the natural food sources, and that also keeps good cover for the deer as well.

Well I suppose that the sawtooth oaks and persimmons I plant don't occur naturally in "most" places in the woods so in a sense I guess that should be compared to baiting too? HA!

So if went and spread 50lbs of corn over 30 acres I would be baiting.
I know what I kill each year and I see what the baiters kill, they spend more time at the taxidermist then I do. Frankly im all for it, the more shows I see and the bigger the deer they kill every year. I say put feeders every 100 yards.

Heres my question. Why does it bother you so bad if someone puts out corn legal or illegal? It doesnt make them any less of a hunter or outdoorsman. If so i propose everyone that is bowhunting whittle out a bow, turn down some cedar shafts, make there own broadheads out of flint, and raise a turkey for fletchings.I mostly hunt in KY where it is legal although i dont put corn out. Tried it and honestly it doesnt make a difference. Where does it end? We are all sportsman who share in a common thread of spending time outdoors. Quit being so closed minded that you cant just accept things arent like they used to be.

I hunt Ky and can bait if i want. I put probably the last of my corn i will put out this past Sat but i have yet to get 1 shooter buck on cam this yr so far. My dad had 2 shooters traveling together come to his for 2 days in a row but nothing since.
Last year i didnt put the first kernel out and got pics of 5 different shooters.
Just because you put corn or any other bait dont mean your going to have a big buck come running to it everyday.
Cant believe the way some people think. Not talking about you just other people in general
