Baiting with corn.

What percentage of TX hunting is high fence these days? A little off topic I know but I don’t think baiting would ever be outlawed in a high fenced scenario. States don’t even require a hinting license for that type of “hunt”.

I agree with you on the free range hunting in TX. It would be WWIII if they outlawed baiting. It not only helps hunting but those year round feeding programs down there make a flourishing deer herd possible even when natural range conditions don’t.

Man I couldn't tell you a percentage.. it's pretty high in the Hill Country (Edwards Plateau area to the West of San Antonio), lower in the rest of the state but it's still a thing.

You do have to have a hunting license to hunt anything other than pigs on private property though.

That's another problem I have with it, making deer herds way above carrying capacity that can't exist without humans feeding them

I've even seen dudes claim, with a straight face and genuinely believing it, that high fence doesn't make the hunt any easier.

It's kinda sad really, like someone who has never left the small town he grew up in not understanding that there is anything outside of what he is used to and has no idea what he is missing....
