LOL.....I gotta laugh a little......"gonna be hard deciding which one to shoot." LOL.......that's just plain ole funny right there.......
The first one that gives you a good shot, that's which one......See, that wasn't such a difficult decision.

Tiffany is sitting on their porch talking and says something to the effect of "Most people think that hunting big mature whitetail on our managed farms is easy, but I'm here to tell you you're dead wrong."
And then they flash to at least a half dozen scenes of bucks scoring well over 140" P&Y.
I just found that funny, and seeing as how I saw several large deer last night myself...
As for not seeing deer over bait during legal shooting light... The guy I mentioned who baits every year, he and his daughter take lagre bucks every year over their bait piles.

We get pictures of mature bucks during daylight hours over mineral and bait sites, it would stand to reason that we would be seeing these same bucks if we were in a stand over the sites.
I don't know. Chances are I won't bait, but when all you're seeing is yearlings and does because everything else is headed to someones bait pile (year after year) it gets discouraging.

I wouldn't, which is why I haven't baited yet.
The only way I can see to kill these deer without baiting myself, is to intercept them on the way to his bait. At the same time, wouldn't that be nearly the same as hunting over his bait?

Many things changehow the deer use an area.Why should you have to giveup hunting a buckin an area if someone else started baiting and got them coming to thier pile or feeder?? Why should you have to resort to baiting ??If someone startedbaiting bucks in my hunting area and a buck I was after changed his pattern on account of it... you are darn rightI would still shoot him if I could. I don't bait as it is not my cup of tea. Their bait pile isn't going to wreck my fun or goals though. I just try to adapt to the situation dealt, just as Iwould for any othersituation changing a buck'smovement. I see no shame in that.
