Very well said

Obviously. I’m just saying had I known it would have been killed I would have shot. I just had an unrealistic hope he would make it

For sure. Would have shot it in hindsight if I’d have known it would have been shot over a feeder later in the year. Was hoping he would make it and be a giant next year

I’ve killed one buck there so I’d do it hasn’t been super effective. I’ll find out this year cause I’m not going through the effort. I’ll put some out for inventory but not run it all season long.

Wish it worked lol

No. I have 650 acres and 2 feeders. Not even in the same realm as using bait as an aid in take. And you know that. My feeders are 1.3 miles apart in a straight line. My nearest stand is over 300 yards away and I have an effective range of 30 yards.

If I wanted to hunt over a bait pile I’d be done opening weekend every year

In the context of hunting. I’m saying a mature buck has zero problem dying over a bait pile

Zero chance to ever verify this but what percent of mature bucks shot in a bait state would you think are over bait? I don’t mean head down in a corn pile but they are in the stand and there’s bait view. My guess is 80%. Not to say some of those bucks wouldn’t get killed otherwise obviously but...

Forgive me if I don’t put all my faith in one study when I’m watching the opposite happen around me and from my lifetime of connections back in Georgia it’s the same there. On the topic of pressure. Obviously these are estimates but it shows it’s pretty close per square mile and then once you...

I’ve hunted all across Georgia for 25 years, Kentucky for 8. Georgia has double the deer hunters as Louisiana. Pressure is just as bad here as there if not worse when you breakdown available cover.

How’s the age structure? Do they have mature bucks outside of a random one every several hundred acres? And I feel like that’s not true about pressure. Sit on my porch for every gun season and you will hear shots every single day. Hell I have an f’ing low budget outfitter next me!! Can’t get...

Man I wish I had yalls deer or maybe the deer in my county are morons! This is just a random clip from a guy I know on the other end of my county. Deer wasn’t big but he was old, likely over 5. Broad daylight, last weekend of rifle just munching down on a mound of corn cobs. Killed him 30...

I get doves before and after season. 50-60 around the farm yesterday.

It’s odd…that deer is always an afterthought. He’s a damn ghost. Granted I don’t run a lot of cameras but I don’t get him regularly on the ones I do and I’ve never seen him in 2 years in my big field by house. But ironically I found the shed 50 yards off the field. The part of the world where I...

lol well ironically he’s pretty much the only deer worth a darn I had post rifle season and he broke his other side in October. I’ve had him on camera for the last two years but never laid eyes on him. I knew he was nice but his mass was way better than I expected.

I really enjoy looking for sheds. Wish I had more time to do it. Got out for 2 hours today. Tough conditions but didn’t get skunked. 5th EHD buck this year

I have to strongly disagree with your statement about being a shortcut to killing mature buck. Every single mature buck that I know of personally that has been killed in the last several years by my neighbors and or acquaintances has been over bait. Actually, I know of one five years ago that my...

Thanks. My European farming knowledge limited to Clarksons Farm The over regulation as depicted on that show would make me end up losing my mind.
