I'm in a club in the Upstate that allows baiting for deer since it became legal. There was never a real discussion, but the attitude of our president was that it should be allowed because it's legal. He does not personally approve of using bait, and we're now trying to navigate the problems brought about by corn. I agree with him, but the club is about 50/50. There hasn't been any drama or hard feelings.
How do y'all that are in clubs handle this situation? In our club, any part of the property and any stand is open to any hunter, based on signing in. However, I would not want to hunt out of a cornpile stand nor that close to it, so the cornpile stands are essentially "reserving" areas for those hunters. Not to mention the problems that could come because a few of us hunt ducks on the property too. And a myriad of other issues, i.e. attracting hogs, folks getting mad if you kill a deer over or near their corn even though you didn't contribute to the corn financially, etc.
I'd appreciate your advice.
