Nobody's ever going to know 100% what it is, and we're not taking about not hunting over it. We are talking about not dumping feed on the ground.
I believe it's well documented that CWD is very likely transmittable in deer via swapping spit. Feeding deer out of a pile obviously increases that, and the only return on the practice being midnight trail camera pictures of hogs.
It's a dumb practice that has no real upside and it should stop. We stopped baiting on our own a couple years back, and we killed more mature bucks the following season.

same with our place, we expanded every food plot we had. Increased seed density, planted soybeans in the spring for the summer plots. Drought aside, it has been a success. We see more deer and more variety of deer all season long. They move around a lot more. No longer the same old doe and two yearlings, every day, roll out of bed at 7:15, face-dive the corn pile, and walk off to take a nap.
