How many Don't hunt over bait, or food plots?

[Jim Boyd]

Like hunting suburban deer, there is some serious guilt in here about hunting bait and plots.

I am, fortunately, not burdened by either.

I pour the corn out. The last buck I shot i had to wait till he cleared the feeder to shoot him. 20 yards with a 7mm mag corn blowing out everywhere

I hunt the north GA Mtns. and don't hunt over bait or fool with food plots. My friends and I were pretty successful until the hogs came in.

I haven't baited, but I'm in two clubs where everyone around me does. I honestly never think about it. I understand why some choose to bait. I don't think that it matters much, but it gives those that do more confidence in their spot. I'd say that the majority of hunters don't have a place big enough to walk around and scout. It would take thousands of acres. I've had access to 800 acres that me and my Dad hunted by ourselves for years. I knew that place inside and out and not much changed from year to year in where the best spots were

I put out corn in front of my camera to see what's in the area. I don't hunt over it. But I do like to hunt just inside the edge of a food plot.
Grew up in PA hunting the edges of corn Fields , back then they weren't called food plots, just corn fields.

Not much for staring at a corn pile in the woods, but looking down a woods road with a long straight stretch with shell corn poured from a cart down it is fine by me. If it bisects a travel corridor, going to be a dozen or more trails crossing it. Stops them just long enough when they're cruising. Even if a buck's not eating, he's scenting the does eating or that have been around it overnight.

Nope, cost too much

I have a couple bait sites every year, but use them to see what’s out there early season. I’ve never had a good one come to a corn pile when it matters. Mainly hunt thick travel routes with no bait.
