I'm glad this chit's over with for at least a year and I can begin breaking ground and hitting my knees daily praying hard for a successful food plot. God bless lush legal wholesome Holy Food Plots, Nick Sabens, spikes, Natty Lite and Doreeeetos.

Everyone knew when they saw this thread what it was gonna turn into This thread was destined to go into the wrapper from the beginning. Since you guys both saw this as an inevitability then help me understand, if you don't mind - what is the reason that this can't stay on the rails? Hogwild, I don't intend this to be in any way asking if it is fair to hunt public land, though again I see that as an interesting discussion in its own right. We saw that come up some with the early discussions about what should become of federally owned public lands. I am thankful regularly that this option is available because I LOVE to hunt and do not own land currently in AL or GA, so public land it is! I certainly see it as a choice I am glad that choice exists! Now the choice to bait wouldn't be quite the same, as I do not see any way that it would be allowed on public lands. This is not a huge issue to me, as there are other things I can't do on the public lands I hunt (use buckshot, shoot does early with a bow or outside of doe days with a gun), so I am perhaps most interested in what the likely impact would be to the public land I hunt if baiting were legalized. As a result of this interest I am also interested in determining the overall feeling of public land hunters to this possible change.

so I am perhaps most interested in what the likely impact would be to the public land I hunt if baiting were legalized. To this question, which is the root of your OP, I believe legalized baiting even with a permit fee could have the potential to draw-attract deer (and turkeys) away from some parts of public lands if the adjacent landowners really got after it with the corn. Whether it would severely impact interior portions to the detriment of hunters, I don't know. I couldn't see how a guy with land on the edge of the Talladega National Forest or Bankhead or even Wheeler NWR could put out enough corn to impact those lands many miles away.

wouldnt the neighbors foodplot draw deer too? I think what you gotta look at, is they might pull some deer, but they aint gonna hold all the deer. I would think all the folks tromping around on public land would push more deer than what could be pulled.

Outside of specific hunts - like the Black Warrior early gun hunt, for example - how many folks are on public land other than Friday-Sunday?

Sounds like an easy survey that could be done, like what FWC does via email.

I hunt public land a lot and I hunt private land too. I couldn't care less one way or the other about baiting but I do care if the state wants to place a fee on baiting if its made legal in the near future. They should make it legal or leave it illegal and quit trying to find a way to make more money from the hunters.
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

I think bad corn full of aflatoxin has killed millions of turkeys in AL. Every grain should be tested before it's allowed to be put out.

Don’t care one way or tother. Just want less laws as a general principle.

My place is small. I prefer 50 yards and almost out of sight.

Chicken liter on feilds dont help... Chicken litter will actually neutraluze aflatoxin in corn. Besides, if there was aflatoxin in litter, there would be a house full of dead chickens from aflatoxin poisoning somewhere.
