Game and Fish video on baiting

Last night at the Red River Area Sportsmens Club meeting Wahpeton I presented the Game and Fish Departments video found on towards the bottom 1/3 of our home page www.gf.nd.gov about concerns with hunting big game over bait.

While you hear and read about bovine TB in Minnesota and CWD issues and concerns in other states, there’s many many many other factors. I’d ask you to check out the video and see what you think about the other issues surrounding this topic.

I think this is much ado about almost nothing.  Texas has used baiting for many years [probably helps that most hunting land is private].  And the connection between baiting and bovine tb is very weak because deer are going to be in close contact with cattle anyway.

Oh yeh, nice socialist sharing note at the beginning of the film.

One more thing, deer are not stupid so they go to areas which have the best fodder which excluding intentional feeding stations is the farm fields (some grain is always lost on the ground) and the grain storage areas.  So denying deer that resource is a foolish dream.

Anyway, the meat from grain feed deer is tastier and less gamey than from deer that have fed exclusively on pine needles and other wild things.

If disease is as much concern as shown in your video, who is going to be responsible to keep deer from congregating around grain elevators, grain bin sites, etc during the winters?  If you are going to fight disease by limiting a hunting method, shouldn’t the same thing be done for other congregating concerns?  This past winter was fairly easy on the deer but a friend still had over a hundred deer in his yard around his grain bins.  Will game & fish be hiring someone to keep these deer from congregating and spreading diseases?

Today the corn pile, tomorrow the food plots.
