You're probably right that I am overthinking this. But I recall being warned not to fish too much around the feeders, as the BG would begin to avoid the area due to bad experiences.

Probably the answer is the classic PB: "It depends." Every so often BG as bait likely would do little harm. Constantly, though, may be a different matter.

Anybody else want to chime in? I haven't seen this discussed elsewhere, am curious as to what the experts would say.
