| Is a food plot for deer considered bait? |
|
Quoted:
are you not allowed to bait deer? Uh no & kinda & yes...depends on who you ask & how you ask. 
No you can't poor corn on the ground & shoot/hunt over it but if you go through the effort of 'planting' corn using standard agricultural practices yes you can hunt/shoot over it. 
Using any of the commercial products you poor on a stump, on the ground whether liquid, powder, granular or block is considered bait by GA DNR standards. Go to big dollar high brow Dove Shoot and you can learn a thing or two about baiting vs standard agricultural process. I think there is a governor or senator that can be asked IIRC. 
Had a neighboring hunt club till about an acre of dirt & spread seed out last spring 2 days before Turkey season opened...dam near sounded like a dove shoot going on. Needless to say I scouted our side of the fence & found some nice roasting areas but could not convince a tom to come to me. 
I could go on & on about the Great Bait Debate but to each his own. If you really want to stir the puddin post a bait question over on GON & watch the hilarity ensue... 7mm |
