VTbowman Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Re: Yes or No? Wow he is a bad boy huh. LOL I still and for ever more will defend anything that is legal in the area you hunt. If a pile of corn is legal then I will try it. Like someone else had posted. The big bucks do not grow on trees, and heck, the spiked bucks are rare here. I guess thats why I enjoy bow hunting more in my state. We can shoot either sex during that season so doe it is. I am not saying that VT has no trophy deer, just not on my 100 acres...... (Sorry GW Smith and Summerflower (and Blackeyed Susan) -still welcome to come and "thin out their numbers...!!!!!") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born4it Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Re: Yes or No? As they say in France...no. I do think that actual BAITING is a little bit like cheating though. That's be like putting a hot girl on a dance floor and shooting you when you went to talk to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popgun Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Re: Yes or No? Some of you just crack me up. You are not satisfied with getting your opinion read by many of us who actually read the forums. You act like a bunch of kids who are convinced that they and they only, have the “right” outlook, and will not be satisfied until you persuade everyone to get on your team. You are littering this forum in every topic you feel you can bring up this same subject. Grow up… You will not convince everyone to take your side…. It just isn’t going to happen… (I’m referring to both sides of this issue) Have you forgotten how much fun it is to hunt, regardless of how you go about it?

elkoholic Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Re: Yes or No? Yes. Explanation, I personally do not believe in baiting and although I have mixed feelings about food plots as I do not believe in the planting of food plots just to hunt over. We are messing with nature when we plant food plots (or put out bait piles) in that we cause unnatural concentrations of animals where they would not normally be and the animals become dependent upon the food supplied. The animals would naturally be more dispersed and at a lower population level which would be more in balance with the carrying capacity of the land. If nobody baited or hunted over a food plot it would be a level playing field for the hunters and more of a fair chase situation for the hunted.

Doc Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Re: Yes or No? There are some pretty basic problems with this question that I think disqualify it as a hunter referendum on food plots or baiting. First of all, I don't think that food plots and baiting should be discussed as the same topic. There are some important differences between the two concepts that could cause a person to have two different opinions. Second, it starts off assuming that both practices are already legal and someone wants to remove an existing legal hunting practice. That has an entirely different effect on one's answer than if it were a question of whether or not to add these hunting related activities. Third and most important is the fact that the question assumes that this matter has been brought up on a public ballot. I'm not sure how other states handle their game laws, but we don't develop our game laws in that fashion here in NYS. Most of the input for fashioning our game laws comes from the hunting community. The DEC does an awful lot of interface with hunting organizations and then they apply good game management principles and develop the laws internally. With just that one portion of the question being worded in that way, I would have to answer "no" as well regardless of whether I agree with the practices or not. There is no way that I want game management turned over to public referendums. That would be disasterous. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
