Wyote, oh no you have it all wrong...you don't bait, you hunt food that is natural<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>! That is different or is it? Exactly my point!

I don't see how somebody who has never or knows nothing about a tecnique can make a comment on how ethical or &quot;fair chase&quot; it is? IMO, driving along and seeing an animal than stocking up and shooting the aniumal is not better, just different. I have no problems with the way you all want to hunt, as long it is legal...cool. If I choose to bait, then that is me...don't worry I am not going to ask you to partake anyway.

If I was out just shooting, than why have I only harvested 1 bear in 8 years, I see several every year. The only way I will hunt bears is with a bow now, b/c for me it is challenging. However if you choose to use a rifle, that doesn't make it unfair in my eyes...just different (which is cool).

Makes them lose their survival skills, really? I beg to differ. How come guys that bait or food plot mention of how the big deer or even all deer have gone NOC! Explain this one, if they are so dependant on the food and lost their survival skills, why have they gone NOC?

Uneducation or ignorance does not make it true. If you don't agree with something, that is your right. However to make statements on a subject you better be well versed and able to back up your points. Cause otherwise it's just theories, with no thesis...which equals F<font color=red></font id=red><font size=5></font id=size5><font size=6></font id=size6>!

Good luck everyone and my you be siuccessful in whatever way you choose to hunt!
