i'm lucky enough to see both sides of this. i hunt Florida and Georgia. Florida you can put a feeder right under your stand if you want. Georgia , we cannot hunt within 200 yds and line of sight of a feeder. I plant food plots on my lease in Georgia. mostly winter plots. oats, rye and buckwheat. I hunt the woods anyways there. never sit right on a food plot. but being able to hunt in 2 places that have different rules, i still do better in Georgia. Have yet to harvest anything sitting right near a feeder( in florida) i say the states should make it legal to hunt over bait, but leave it up to the property owner or manager wheither or not they want to use them. like in Georgia, it comes up for vote every year, and is never passed. but Wal-mart will sell out of corn on gun opener. they write alot of tickets for hunting over bait $325.00 a pop. i think in some places it is more economy driven to not hunt over bait.
