What's to debate? It's either legal in your area or it's not. No debate. As far as someone thinking it's ethical or not, I see no difference hunting over bait as opposed to hunting over a natural food source. They either know where the oak tree is or they know where the "corn tree" is. I personally don't put out feeders but I do throw corn down intermittantly in different spots. It may be once, it may be every 2 or 3 weeks. Some spots I don't throw any corn down. It depends. I have observed deer walking trails and hit a pile of corn and they go from relaxed to wary and not touch the corn. Baiting doesn't mean its automatic and for me, personally, it has its limits and, once again, for me is not much fun. But its legal here so bait away.
