Baiting Blacktail seminar?

[Hawgdawg]

Baiting, luminoks, compound bows, semi-autos, bolt actions, and chewing gum while hunting should be banned. Please discuss further while I watch the blood spatter from the sidelines.

That may be an interesting seminar, of course, about a completely unethical and horrendous activity.

He never ceases to amaze you?  Sounds like a crush  to me.

BTW, he probably became a "Board Modirator" because he can spell

I don't know about blacktails, but just one look at the walls of whitetail hunters that bait and the ones that don't will tell you all you need to know about effectiveness of baiting whitetails.

Blacktails are bound to be similar, but the terrain difference might make it tougher.  Nocturnal deer is the main issue of baiting.  If you can figure that out, you'll do fine.

thats a good one, aint nothin simular between blackies and whiteys  a mature blacktail that is not under the spell of a doe in heat is by far the most absolute toughest critter to hunt in north america, i would put them up there with the wisest of all critters to pursue, i dont know which is the wisest but the GREY GHOST has to be among them

you can use feeders that have timers on them.  Once they are used to a different life they really aren't much different than whitetails.  Just look at the neighborhoods with deer problems like Whidbey or on the peninsula---deer come running when it is feeding time just like the whitetails.

Pet deer are a whole lot different than pressured public land deer. I've tried baiting them in spots for years never can I keep a mature buck around like the pet deer you speak of. And even does and small bucks are tough to know when they will show. Could be today or 4 days from now.
And I can say just cause camere deer works on whitetails doesn't mean it will work on blacktails. I've tried. Nothin to show for it.

I don't smoke, thanks for asking.

No I'm not attempting to stir the pot.  Hunting blacktail bucks and hunting whitetail bucks is very different in my opinion.  I would submit that most people who've hunted both would agree.

Hunting? or Baiting?

[PolarBear]

One of those things is not like the other. 

[MountainWalk]

I've grown up hunting whitetails. I've also killed several BTs over three pts to a side.  I don't think BT"s are harder.

They can all be conditioned when times are rough and food is easy

[MountainWalk]

Never killed or hunted a BT over bait.  Half my WT"s I'd suppose came over some sort of bait, mostly acorns in oak groves.  Other half still hunting or  or stand hunting trails.  To me, one is not harder than the other. 

[Jonathan_S]

I'm not getting sucked into this one again.     if you want to bait, then bait.  I don't.  If you can't kill a buck, don't cry about those who kill a buck over bait.
