Does Texas still allow for baiting?

That was the argument for legalizing baiting for deer. 😂

I’d wish it was illegal for all of baiting or feeding during season

I find humor in ill gotten gains. I like careful what you wish for, you just might get it !

Yes. Also can hunt them with rifles. But after spending many years on several south TX ranches and landowners, you can not allow what TX does on a large scale in other southeastern states. Rather than landowners owning 40-400 acres, they own 4000-400000 acres. Baiting don’t have near the impact there. I chuckle when ppl here say “They do it in TX, and we should too.” TX has nowhere near the private land hunters per land area that we do. Not even close.

Did I read the first post right to say that you can feed during turkey season in FL as long as you wer 100yards away from the feed?

Because most people don’t put in the effort to plant chufas but damn near everyone will put out scratch feed if it’s legal. Whole lot less trouble and WAY easier. You wanna see a helluva lot more gobblers get killed, legalize baiting then.

People do it now, even with it illegal. You know why, it’s easier to kill a gobbler that way.

You seem to be going on the very false assumption that the folks setting the limit expect every hunter to kill the season limit. No state anywhere expects that. The state of Alabama doesn't have enough turkeys for every hunter to kill 4.

The season limit has nothing to do with whether or not bait is allowed. I've never understood why you so often put those 2 things together. They are unrelated, and everyone else on this forum understands that.

So now you’re changing your mind? You used to say that you can’t kill enough gobblers in the spring to effect the population? It’s I that had been saying that the State knew that it couldn’t support that. It took you you a while to come to that realization , but welcome. It took you far to long to get to that conclusion.

...... but you don't like to read or write more than 2 sentences at a time, so I will just say in the nicest way that I can that your position is nonsense, and everyone on here knows it.

People actually advocate for baiting turkeys?

Lol, once again, your logic escapes me, and you have at best, misrepresented my position. You have at worst, told a blatant lie.

I have always said that I didn't think we could kill enough gobblers to effect reproduction under the CURRENT REGULATIONS. There is no way you could have read my posts all these years without understanding that. The primary part of those regulations are no baiting and one gobbler a day. I have always supported those regulations 100%, and it's only with both of them in force that I have made those statements.

You, on the other hand, have advocated being able to bait and kill the entire season limit in one day. Even when the limit was 5, you wanted to be able to kill them all over bait in one day, always using the excuse that it wouldn't matter as long as you didn't exceed the season limit. As I have said, that logic doesn't work because no dcnr anywhere sets the limit expecting everyone to get a limit.

I could write a long essay explaining how you and one of your buddies could wipe out every gobbler in an area in opening morning by shooting them in your corn trench, but you don't like to read or write more than 2 sentences at a time, so I will just say in the nicest way that I can that your position is nonsense, and everyone on here knows it.
