Why is baiting most game illegal except for deer?

I've talked to people from states out west and they are shocked when I tell them you can bait deer year-round in LA. Personally, I don't see baiting deer as sportsman-like, but I see why people do it. Does it have more to do with migratory animals and federal law?

What do you think about hunting deer over pine straw?

The landscape is just really different. Out west you can see animals from miles away. Down here they can be 10 feet away and you never know they are there. Apples to oranges IMO.
For that matter everything is different. Much less pressure per acre, deer are much more likely to have never seen a human, way more public land, agriculture is different, etc. You could go on and on. Much shorter seasons in other states and from what I gather no one struggles to kill a deer.

It makes deer hunting easier. Which makes more people deer hunt. Which generates more money. And LA likes money.
Plus we have the deer herd to support it.

I suppose, but in the mountains, they're no that easy to track and shoot.

Easy is a relative term, but spot and stalk is definitely much easier. Down here spot and stalk might as well be called sweat and make noise.

I hope they never make it legal in Alabama. They've already given crutchless hunters a bow hunting crutch with crossbows.

Well, what do you think hiking up the side of a mountain is?

I get what you're saying, but the difference is, down here, all you would be doing is sweating and making noise. The vast majority of the south is not set up to successfully kill with spot and stalk.
And I'm not saying one is easier than the other. Just that those techniques are in place in each region for a reason.

An effective way to kill a deer.

Because deer aren't migratory. If one comes to your corn feeder it's likely already there in your general area. They don't travel much

Baiting certainly doesn't hurt the odds of killing a deer, but you can always tell people who have never done it by how they talk about it. It's not uncommon for me to check a cam card and have thousands of night time pics over corn for every one in daylight. I have just as many stands set up to cover crossings, and large lanes where I can see with no feeder on them as I do simple plots with a feeder, and I make the decision on which to hunt based on wind and time of year. I see more young deer on the feeder stands, but I kill more deer on the crossings (and no they aren't cutting off the feeder, just natural features).

Wait; are you saying it's not legal to bait ducks with corn?
Posted on 10/4/17 at 2:11 pm to upgrayedd
All about the $$$$$!!! License and corn and other stuff!

What?

Yes, the baiting of ducks and other migratory waterfowl is federally illegal, so there is nothing LA can do to allow it.
