    Most can make a recovery going cold turkey, they may look like a choked chicken for a while but they pull through. The exception is usually guys named Jack. It can take some serious intervention to help a Jack off the addiction of being a master baiter. Some have to turn to something pretty hard to beat it, like blow but that's pretty extreme. I'd never advocate trading a drug addiction to ease withdrawal symptoms from quitting master baiting. If you find yourself in such an addiction, it sucks but I'd suggest making every effort to just bite the big one and stop altogether. You may be inadvertently poisoning animals by dumping your load all over the farm.

    I mean it's been a year, might of been some advances in baiting over this period. :confused: Even some machines help ease the process on yourself carrying a full load out.

    Please be careful! My wife is typing this for me, as a season of chronic baiting has left me handicapped. I can only assume that dust from spreading excessive seed in the forest has gotten into my eyes. I can't see anything, but my mind is still full of great baiting images.......

    Sorry to hear about your dusty old seed. Getting old must really suck

    There is no "off season" for the true and dedicated master baiter. That's partly what justifies the "master" rank.

    To become a master,
    One must beat off frequent distractions

    Maybe you could form a support group for your addiction and beat it together.

    I knew a guy in college that entered a master baiting contest. He got first, third and fifth. The true definition of a competitor.

    Yeah it’s a full time thing. Getting backed up with seed is never good

    I don't have an addiction to beat, I get paid to be a master baiter. However I do enjoy it a great deal. I'm pretty sure I could stop at any time, if I wanted to.
    I think of myself more as a animal nutritionist than a master baiter.

    It takes 10,000 reps to master something.
