As many of you know I came from PA which allows no baiting. WHen I started in Ohio, I started baiting and assumed it would be easy to kill a deer and boy was I wrong. The deer are very weary of coming into them except for fawns. Adult deer sense the slightest thing wrong and they are out of there. Both buck I have killed I caught circling downwind of the feeder and I grunted to them. I don't believe either one were going to the feeder, but were merely scenting to see if any doe were there. The only adult deer we killed on bait was a doe my son killed the year before last and we actually were walking to check trail cams and when we came around the corner she was looking the other way.
It honestly wouldn't bother me if they did away with it. When your neighbors do it, I think you are almost stuck having to do it to, but I think the deer movement would be better without it.
Disclaimer: I haven't tried the grape koolaid yet, so that could be our issue. Fully intend on doing it this year. LOL.
