[QUOTE="Twitch, post: 321631, member: 668"] Optics matter but thinking making changes like this will appease those with negative connotations of our outdoor activities is in my opinion naive at best. Hunters and fishermen/women are, as a rule, greater stewards of the land and resources than the people you’re trying to appease will ever be. A big portion of my hunting has been in a unit that hasn’t allowed baiting in quite some time, so further regulations across more of the state will have little to no affect on my activities personally but that doesn’t really change my opinion much. Outdoors people would do well to stick together and protect our activities rather than divide up into factions and turn on each other while the anti’s stay strong together. In my eyes someone who dumps a half a grain shovel full of corn to stop an animal for a clean effective shot is no worse than someone who crows about their way being the “right way”. If there was scientific fact based in dumping that little bit of corn causing damage to populations by spreading disease more than food plots, water holes, or just populations yarding up in the winter time under normal farming practices than that’s a different conversation but the anti’s are going to look at your actions as murder whether you do it by spot and stalk, by studying normal travel patterns/bedding and feeding areas, or if you dump a half cup of corn under a tree. Make no mistake about that. [/QUOTE]
