I've held this position throughout our discussions, a small food plot planted to shoot a deer over is very close to baiting. In fact it may be legal but one might want to look at ethics. Foods plots are used for only two reasons, kill over and nutrition, how you choose to use them is YOUR business. After reading all the good posts on poaching then i start getting all worked up on this one. You all can start shooting me now, I'm a big boy, but some of the things I'm reading puts questions in my mind. Poaching/baiting/records/small food plots/ethics/legal/kill/fertilize public/??? Are we simply being lazy that we don't use our hunting ability that we have to plant a small food plot to lure the buck/doe into the killing fields? Are the scents that we use in the same catagory? As I stated prior, I hunt about a 1/2 mile from the food plots I plant. Maybe this is too close and I'm also guilty? I'm not afraid to put the target up. This will draw some fire I'm sure!
