No opinions, huh?
I think bear and deer hunting are two totally different games. From what I understand bears aren't really patternable like deer. They roam the area freely and are likely to be anywhere in that huge expanse of woods (hundreds of sq. miles). Deer, as we all know, follow a pretty regular pattern. Length of season probably comes into play as well. As I understand, bear seasons are much shorter than deer. Of course that is all hear say because I have never been bear hunting, only read about it alot. Someone feel free to correct me if im wrong in my thinking.
Where are Schultzy, Dan, Kyle, and others when you need them.

Jim~
So you are doing the equivalent of strategically placing feeders every 40 yardsfor 760 yards. How hard would it be to find the dominate trail leading into your "food plot" and hunt the closest stand? I personally hunt feeders and shockingly every deer I killed this year (6) never came close to the corn. But I prefer an oak patch any day to a feeder chock full of corn.

The boards have been a little tense here lately so I'm def. not attacking Jim or anyone else that prefers food plots to baiting, simply discussing.

RE: Diluting Accomplishments: Baiting
Those who live in the south see nothing wrong with baiting while my woods still have plenty of snow cover, corn dumped today would be gone tomorrow,How ever my six acre food plot has been feeding them all winter. with stands place at 40 yard intervals it would take 19 hunters to cover my "food plot" ,how many hunters does it take to cover your feeder that is set to gooff twice a day?

RE: Diluting Accomplishments: Baiting
Needn't even be a discussion over whether it's ethical or not. Just wondering why the seemed double-standard???
Baiting turkeys is also legal in some states.....
Is there a double-standard there?
