What i want is for people to just quit doing it. Its stupid.
There is nothing stupid about supplemental feeding, period. It literally allows your deer herd to be healthier. I have a piece of property in South Texas that I've lived and hunted on for the past 12 years. For the first few years I only fed corn during the hunting season. For the past 7 years I've planted food plots and also feed protein in the spring and summer months. We have seen and increase in fawn yield, overall population, and antler growth with incorporating the food plots and protein feed.
When you want things to change and the change happens from a governmental body full of bureaucrats then expect stupid laws to be handed down.
Oh, and CWD has been around since forever and it will still be around if they outlaw feeding and food plots and it will never be lethal enough to the deer population to make a significant impact.

id have to imagine there are worse things out there for deer that live in the swamps and marshes of SE LA than a pile of corn or soy beans.

Looks like hinge cutting is about to become popular.

What a joke.
Like a regular deer feeder with a spinner.

I just recently heard this term and it seems like everyone is doing it now.

Easy, we have the infrastructure needed in place. Big leases with established stand and food sources statewide, Majority are management minded, By eliminating corn piles now you are not killing off so many young bucks and easy target doe. The deer will have to move more to find food source's. You'll see quality emerge fast followed by a stable larger population. I all for a statewide ban.

That's opposite of what the state is pushing. Today they pleaded to hunters to lower the deer population.

If the boys north of Alexandria can't feed in the pine thickets there will be a huge explosion in the deer population.

I dont bait, and can tell you the youngerns don’t get harder to kill w/o bait.
I think y’all are 180 out of phase - I think feeding artificially raises the carrying capacity (extent to which is unknown by me), and the cc will normalize (lower) itself without corn piles.

morbidly obese and hail from rural parishes like LaSalle and Catahoula, were there to protest a potential emergency declaration that could ban deer feeding, food plots, and other baiting practices.
Well done. Pretty sure you are doing some writing for the sadvocate!!

If their was a statewide ban in feeding would the price of a lease go way down? I would imagine a bunch of hunters would leave leases if they can't hunt over bait.
$2000 lease would become around $1000?

If we were talking about supplemental feeding I'd be prone to agree but corn doesn't have much of a nutritional value so I don't see it raising the carrying capacity. If you're making food plots to put the corn in which increases edge habitat then yeah, probably.

quote:I can tell you from seeing the first year of the feed ban, deer were all over the place (fields, etc-na don’t just at “deer:30”) Has the population retracted in 3 yrs? Can’t say I’m seeing fewer deer but again, we didn’t bait before, have hard mast and likely draw previously fed wrp/crp deer in during Dec-Feb. :idk: lots of moving parts.

But when duck season was cut to 3/30 the cost of leases went up.
The hypothetical mythical ban would do the same

Got expanded to Catahoula, La Salle, Caldwell, Richland, and Franklin parishes. I was listening to webinar.
Also, the 25 mile radius has been amended. Now you can broadcast feed between a 15 mile and the 25 mile radius. Does not included piles or stationary feeders. Only electronic broadcast feeders.
Can someone explain this further? Are these new parishes no longer allowed to feed? What is this about 15 and 25 mile radii?
I don't hunt any of those parishes but that is getting close to where I do.

The title of this thread is inaccurate… but it’s not an April Fools joke.
