You're allowed to bait deer in West Virginia?

 

[Turtle Guru]

Yes you can feed them,
Yes I use corn but i hate the word bait just for the simple fact it is a food supply and nothing less in my opinion because the winters here are very brutal so they corn makes them fat and ready for winter. The numbers have been down but Thank the LORD there really up this year. But man they love corn. I'll show some pics of some eating corn if I get the chance. Also back on the corn it also brings in bear, turkey, and other animals it really depends though. But some animals are illegal to have at feeders. I don't know why but its really dump because you can't help what comes to your feeder throughout the day. But yea I'm done lol you just caught me rambling on some i like to voice my opinion on.

But Thank the LORD for Everything

I think bait is actually what it is. It's not like you supply the corn for them, your only supplying it to get them to come into the area your hunting in. Once you have killed what you want, you will no longer keep feeding, correct? Then it's baiting them in my opinion.

That looks like some mighty fine Eastern Box Turtle habitat right there, Christian!!

Don't mean to be controversial, but, speaking as a bowhunter of nearly 50 years experience, assassinating deer from a tree stand is no more hunting than climbing up on your kitchen table when you mislay your car-keys and waiting for them to come to you.

Hunting is an ACTIVE verb, and real hunters stay on the ground and try to outsmart the deer...much more sport, and then you can be proud of your accomplishment! Try it sometime!

Oh, and I'd like to mention that, should the question arise, my bow doesn't need training wheels, either!

(a whole lotta moose chili looking for a place to happen!)

Sure looks like a birchbark moose call to me in the pic. So, aren't you simply calling a rut muddled moose to you. What's the difference?

That is my hunting buddy's Nathaniel's call, I did not use it, myself...don't recall if he ever got around to using it either, as he'd only made it that morning and I seriously doubt the sounds we were able to make would've tantalized a moose, rut-crazed or otherwise (maybe it could've paralized one w/ laughter, but, at best, we sounded like a moose who'd eaten far too many Taco Belle bean burritoes... )

Seriously, try hunting deer on the ground, rather than assassinating them from the trees...it's a sport worthy of the name, and it allows you to be much more selective in choosing your prey (fat, younger bucks for superior steaks, older bucks for better racks and chili/stew/sausage meat, does for the tenderest of meat cuts and nicest skins).

No we usually feed them year long and nope after we are done we still feed them. Also I have found plenty of box turtle there Anthony.


I also hunt on the ground and also if you hunt traditional that's is the best with no sites I like and you guys should try it's a blast

I also don't kill just to kill we use it as a huge food source for us during the Whole Year.

very neat. looks peaceful. I am a vegetarian myself, so I can't really tell any hunting stories LOL. Although my ENTIRE family loves it. Have fun and good luck! I hope to see a follow up of this weekend's kill

I drove to Morgantown a few months ago, and was AMAZED at the number of road killed deer I saw. I counted more than 40 in an hour. In one spot there were 6 within 100 yds. All fresh too.

The reason for that is because the rut is almost in(mating season) also the numbers are really up.

Thank the LORD
