Sorry with all the post on here I couldn't find any....Still planting clover, beets, corn, etc for purposes of hunting still doenst tell me why its legal.

Tag? What tag?

I don't own any property to have food plots and I don't hunt any property with food plots but I don't see anything wrong with them . I just think it's foolish to hear someone state that a field where animals can come and go in any direction for food and a pile of corn are the same ! No doubt , someone is bored .................

I don't know why those Crappers are called Canada Geese . They never leave New York !

i wish everyone including those that baited, from a bag or a field, took the time to improve the habitat on public land, *create a brushpile, cut out invasive plants, selective cut or freed up heritage apple trees. The land would be incredibly productive with no need of plots or food piles.

I think the point being made is both are used to attract deer so the hunter can shoot them. Both are a form of bait but one is legal and one is not. But you get the same result. Just like the bucket of apples or corn the food plot is only good while it lasts. If you don't replant the food plot every year the deer will go else where. Seems like his point is that both should be illegal whether you agree or not. If you aren't harvesting the food plot for your consumption it should be called what it is baiting just like a bucket of corn. Or maybe both should be legal. Just because it takes time and money to have a food plot doesn't mean it's not bating. Or else why would you bother to invest time and money? JMHO

I totally understand and totally support the law on baiting, but must ask, how is BUCK LURE or other sexual attractants for deer different than baiting with a bucket of corn? (By the way, I don’t use either when hunting).

Actually the baiting law preceeds the discovery of CWD in NYS. However the no-feeding law was a direct result of the CWD concerns. I believe that's the way it all went down.
