Story is about a girl who enjoys hunting.


Of course, they can't help but insert something wild, and here it is:

"There's a feeder off in the distance that occasionally spreads corn and protein pellets on the ground.
Among hunters, baiting is controversial. It's illegal in some states but standard practice in Mississippi."

Baiting is illegal in some places because it is too effective.  It's use is not so controversial among hunters, though. Hunters will bait if permitted, and generally don't where it's illegal. Generally, hunters feel that baiting should be legal.

Since baiting brings the deer into the area, it helps the hunter find the deer. This increases the chances of a successful hunt.

In Tennessee, baiting during the season is not legal. However, deer in Tennessee are reaching pest proportions, and I would not be surprised to see this law changed in upcoming years. Our bag limits have been steadily increasing for a while now.

I bet Right Minded wouldn't mind if we allowed larger bag limits on deer, and allowed full baiting.
