I thought about it myself, but would rather put the $$$ elsewhere. Desease, vacinations, a lot critters that bite back, not being able to keep the meat,are some of the reasons. As mentioned, sitting over a water hole doesn't seem like much fun either (neither is sitting over a bait for that matter). I put some money into an elk trip in Colorado and had a blast trying to stalk and call last fall. Currently, we are considering a whitetail hunt in Buffalo CountyWI.
