    = ) and im telling you logically that makes no sense since it's not targeting a certain age group. I think saying that being born with it is a small cause and transmittal is a larger cause makes more sense. You don't just have breakouts over people being born with it, you have it when it is transmittable.

    Let me ask you something too on this theory. Say the mom is a carrier and gives birth to a doe, does that doe pass it onto the next child or because they have it, they dont? How would the mom be born with it, yet never have been transmitted the bug, and then pass it onto their child? If the doe's are carriers, why are they dying?

    I dont think im explaining myself too well, but the process you're explaining makes no sense.

    What im assuming is when a buck that is infected breeds a doe the fawns are the victim cuz they get it from the buck since hes making em with his bad batch of baby gravy. But I don't understand how the doe doesn't get the cwd after the fawns are living inside her for so long.

    Doe's can just be carriers for the doe not have it but pass it onto the fawn. But that would mean that any doe's born from doe's would all be carriers which would mean CWD only affects bucks. Hence why that wisconsin DNR guy needs to check his study.

    Wow. Nobody ever said anything about booners. We said deer. Not sure why all the attitude, but apparently you either missed reading the fact that I have done both or you just don't care. Please enlighten me as to how killing game on a field is easier than over a bait pile. Remember, I have done both. Unless my experiences were extremely out of the norm, the bait pile was in fact MUCH easier to put out, and much easier to hunt over. But, somehow my experience is wrong? How?

    I'm kinda split on the baiting issue. If I lived in a state where I could bait I probably would, but not if I was having success with food plots and such.

    I forget what does nocturnal mean ??? Baiting where legal and hunting season starts early enough to hunt velvet bucks can be very successful but is NOT easy trust me if it was this buck would be dead by now ..

    Id bait, hunt with dogs, treestand whatever to experience all different types of hunting as long as it were legal in that state. No sense in fighting over ethics, as long as you're ok with it, the state is ok with it, just have fun with it.

    That awesome fletch, Im glad your starting to see the light. You see, we have no idea how many hours, miles, the leg work and sweet went into this location that Pat took this pic. And when you get right down to it, it's not just this spot, it's every spot he has. Like I said, I know guys that will get on 170+ bucks every year. When I see the time, work and $$$$ they put into it. Yes sir, it would much easier for them to plant 100 acres of corn.

    Baiting isn't illegal as long as the state you are in calls for it. I have never poured corn in a pile. I broadcast the corn I put out over a 60 sq. yard area. Deer are natural browsers and this keeps them calmer. Pouring corn in a pile works, but seems to make deer nervous and more apprehensive in daylight.
    I can see why some suggest food plots as baiting. A food plot is providing a deer with food that normally is not there. Just like putting out corn or any thing else. I agree with other that said the corn they put out doesn't last long. Any corn I put out is gone in 3 days max. Deer, coons and squirrels consume it all. A lot of guys do not have access to land that has oaks, persimmons or other foods deer like. They can't plant food plot to bring deer in. So baiting gives them the ability to bring deer in. Whatever tactical advantage you can get to kill a deer that is legal, USE IT!

    In Tennessee...we cannot use anything with grain. Such as corn and things like that during hunting season. We can however hunt over salt licks. As long as what we use has 51% or more of salt content.
