Mbrock is spot on as usual!

Prime example- one 80-acre tract that I hunt has an adjoining landowner that has 1-acre bordering the 80-acre tract. He lives in a house on the 1-acre and has a feeder and a cell cam in his overgrown backyard. It’s now legal for him to shoot deer out his window at the feeder when the cell cam goes off. The feeder is literally 15’ from the property line and unless the deer drops in its tracks, it’s leaving his property before it dies. But…..his setup is technically legal so there isn’t anything that can be done about it.

Before baiting was allowed the chances of him killing a deer, much less a buck, on his 1-acre was extremely slim. Now him and his kids can realistically kill half a dozen bucks off 1-acre and never leave the house.

This is playing out all across the state and seriously impacting the older buck age class.
