I've seen this opinion expressed, a lot. Never seen a poll on the subject, but of the serious foodplotters I know (and I've been at it actively for a quarter century), this is generally not the case. At my place, we virtually never set up directly on our plots, except for longer-range rifle...
One of the things I very much dislike of baiting is it causes hunters to practice "defensive baiting", ie., having to put out bait to compete with the neighbors. And then to put out more to keep up with the neighbor's bigger piles of corn, carrots, and sugar beets.

There is such a thing as contributory negligence that is so incredibly profound that you really can't feel one shred of animosity toward the ICE agents.

TPTB deliberately concealed the bodycam videos from the public. The cops called for EMS within seconds. Peaceful protests widely reported.
Is anything more reprehensible than a white shitlib? How on...
