[QUOTE="Dirty, post: 321566, member: 6535"] I agree there is no science behind a bait ban being effective for much of anything disease related. Other than stopping baiting, it is stopping nothing. Why the game and fish clings to that rationale I have no idea. Nor do I know their real motives. They look foolish for taking their current approach. You don’t really need to look any farther than the way deer congregate in the winter to blow the CWD theory apart. You are right also Kurt that deer harvest probably wouldn’t go way down (I should have not used the word WAY in my post) - but I stand by the statement that many people don’t know another way to hunt deer (nothing wrong with that). You are either sitting in front of your bait waiting or your not deer hunting. I know some personally...it doesn’t make me like them any less, but if there isn’t a feeder involved they are clueless and frustrated...like fishing without a fancy depth finder for some folks. I truly believe the archery success rate (and maybe participation in general) would noticeably decrease if there was an all out baiting ban and if it was actually followed (you know some will continue to use it). How that would affect overall annual harvest I’m not sure. [/QUOTE]
