I am fine with it, people already are baiting deer. And, for the record rice bran > corn..

The deer herd is MS is vibrant so I really don't care how they are harvested. I'm not much of a hunter so I'm indifferent but it does seem to take a lot of the sport out of it.

Ok by me as well and as you said, it doesn't change anything for a lot of people.

Mah. I've never done it. Not sure I could get used to it. Food plots yeah, but not hunting over some feeder. Now if others do it... I don't know that it's any different than fishing if you look at it. Luring them for the kill with food. Hah!

I've tried rice bran twice. It rotted on the ground both times I tried it.
I'm glad they are approving it. So many people are doing it. I bait behind my house and shoot 1 or 2 does at the most each year over corn. I do not bait at the hunting club and I see many more bucks at the club. I think bait makes bucks very wary. It's good for thinning the herd though and I assume this is what they're after.

Takes them a little while to get used to rice bran.

Not a whole lot of difference...
