Baiting vs Food Plots..is there any difference?

I say I will use any legal method to kill a deer. In the end it's about the hunter and having fun. Who am I to dictate what fun is to another hunter

 

I prefer "If you hunt legally, then end of story." but what you said works too.

 

I've done it all, bait piles on my property, food plots on my property, bait in my food plots , hunt the trails to and from my food plots, I love it all! Heck I even take a gun out and hunt if I feel like it ........ and have fun doing it, thats all that matters!

 

This thread is getting way to nice, I wonder why:D

Favre ROCKS!!!

 

Is it baiting if you put a pile of corn in an unharvested 200 acre corn field and hunt over it ?? Wouldn't you just be hunting a corn field since it is all corn ?? Would the pile work in a corn field ??

I hear ya Gary, this niceness is getting me sick to my stomach! Favre does ROCK, that last play was awesome!!!!!!!!!

 

Im not reading the whole thread...

But i say its a personal call..

Food plot and baiting are 100% different in my eyes.

 

Ok, is there a size limit on the fod plot? 1/4 acre,(and I see them in east Tx quite often), isn't too long of a shot. 10 acres sure its different as far as shot possibilities goes. But in my eyes that is all thats different from a year round feeding station.

 

No, the deer prefer to eat it fresh of the stalk.

Viva La Brett Favre:D

That was a hell of a kick

(side note, I am no favre fan)

 

Supplemental feeding is what you are doing, which is different than baiting. Baiting your goal is to kill a deer. A lot of guys who plant plots also supplemetal feed.

I see a difference in what you are doing on intent than what most guys who plant plots or bait do.

 

Good luck with that "Easy Way Out" food plotting. You can put a lot of money and hard work into a food plot too. Especially if your not starting with good farm ground.

 

Hey...common ground!

If you supplemental feed........or plant a plot.......and hunt over neither......

Then.....I can see how you view neither in the same light as those who do (hunt over it). If you hunt over one....and condemn the other.....that's a double-standard.

 

I think you can do neither and see them as different, too.

 

What would this be considered?

I don't know why some worry about what others condem. The questions was ask are they different. I still believe they are different in way one can approach either tactic.

Like having sex with a fat woman compared to Jessica Biel. The act may be the same, the end result may be the same, but the experience is very different.

 

You know.. if you read this entire thread slowly.

You'll pick up the slight differences that everyone has are merely nothing more than definitions.

As usual.. words lost in translation from one dude to the next.

Just thought I'd throw that in.

Carry on.

 

Uh Germ! are you speakin' from experience? ;-)

Dan I have done a lot of things, just not a fat woman

Lets put it this way

A kill with a compound is the same as a Traditional kill, being the end result is the same.

If we use the logic of killing a deer over bait is the same as a food plot. I am not say one is better than the other. I am saying the experience is different between each hunter.

Some guys work harder baiting than with plots and vice versa.

 

GERM! hahaha
