We have become dependent on this form of hunting in MI
That being said I really cant remember shooting a buck off a bait pile
I would also agree this form of hunting really doesnt make the best hunters. That being said I am sure you can find methods of hunting almost everywhere that other would roll their eyes, waterholes, dogs ,corn feeders ,helicopters etc
They (the bucks) know that a pile of sugar beets dont just fall there
The only thing it may help is if a doe is heading that way and he is hot on her tail
But I have shot quite a few off food plots and I will be sitting off one Nov 15 God willing
There is so much BS here in MI Re deer hunting I really dont know who to believe or root for anymore
