    So, food plots are baiting and corn piles are feeding......? I get so confused on this.

    That doesn't explain how you defined food plots as baiting and a bucket of corn next to a stand as feeding. I'm still pretty hazy on that one.

    By the way, I have camo that is a half-decade old. Is that really old?

    I don't recall ever having done that. Show me the post where I said what you just manufactured.

    But what if your food plot is standing corn? Is that considered a combination of feeding and baiting?

    If I shoot a deer out of a two acre plot of clover that was planted to attract deer, and I use a compound bow, am I still a bow hunter?

    You replied:

    "Sure. The bait you hunted over does not define the sport. "


    So, you called a two acre plot bait. But said dumping a bucket of corn on the ground near a stand is "feeding". Even if a deer is shot out of said stand. So, I really didn't manufacture anything. Just trying to figure out the spin on words you choose.

    I personally can not stand Durkin for most of the above reasons--BUT I am no snowflake I respect his right to his thoughts and opinions, I just can not believe he gets paid to spout them where did I go wrong ?

    You did. But I understand your reluctance to admit it. I really do.

    There is no shortage of people on both ends of the spectrum that will find fault with anything a state's DNR does.

    You seem obsessed with my dad. If you want to discuss the events of 2012 with him, I think you should email my father directly at [email protected] and ask him about it (what a treat that will be for you) but you are going to notice a delay in his reply because he and Bill Busbice, Ted Nugent, Clark W. Dixon and Spook Spann are currently on a group bow hunt in Iowa. :biggrin:

    Innovative I think you are severely underestimating the stigma that is Rancid Crabtree, the poster was beloved by nobody. Your posting style and vocabulary are uncannily similar.

    That shouldn't surprise anyone. Considering the fact that the season is closed and all. Seems normal.

    I'm not nearly as obsessed with him as he is.

    Your sarcasm radar must be pretty weak Sota.

    You do know innovative outdoorsman is rancid Crabtree right?? That's just his business name. Along with various other aliases. He even carries on conversations with himself. Quite amusing.
