Message: <blockquote data-quote="db-2" data-source="post: 240464" data-attributes="member: 4743">I made my feeling know on post 24 about baiting.I do think now and then what harm I may be causing.Been deer hunting since 59.  Back then got the tag Friday morning, no hunters to speak of and also no deer to speak of.However did not seem to have all the issues back then as we seem to have now.  Just went hunting during the rifle season.  Seldom seen a game warden.  Now more deer and more hunters and with the additional hunters, additional opinions with some the need to tell others the right way with those ways based on personal agendas.Baiting, food plots, habitat and water ( yes I have in my day put water containers up for the deer), things that I have work on will all be gone one day.  Why, because those against baiting want it to stop and will use CWD as an avenue to ban.  They say the disease is spread by contact.  Sounds right to me. In my 40 plus years of hunting I also have an opinion.  That is an opinion share by many on here as to deer herding up, eating out of the same spot long before I started my venture with deer. Just did not have CWD or at least not known of back then.So take one's personal agenda out, use some common sense and maybe we can come to common ground. Then I think about the good I have done with the focus on providing deer with whatever help I can give them to survive.So I am not sure if I have hurt the deer or done some good for them and for those who enjoy the deer.  I have found a lot of people upset with me because I have all the deer on land that is posted and I hunt (for them it seems that way).  You can hunt your way and I will enjoy deer my way.  Game and fish, to much book learning there with little common sense sometimes.  As a bow hunter I am not about to put a loin cloth on, cut some branches for arrows and bow, turkey for the feathers and go for it.  But, for me, you can keep your AR 223 with your 700 yard shots. I just hope what is good for the deer comes out of it.  I bought a trike last summer and there is a whole another world i need to focus on in the remaining years with the wife. At the same time will continue to go to northern Canada as long as I am able to find sheds and will put in the food plots and grain as long as I am able to. db</blockquote>
