Must be nice to live in a state that's brimming with deer. The question I always ask about baiting is at what point is it no longer hunting and more akin to harvesting free range livestock. I've seen some hunting shows where people are shooting deer over bait from comfortable fort-like tripod blinds. I've also heard that in some places the deer are so conditioned by baiting that they come running when they hear the feed hit the feeder. this is just what I've heard, of course.

I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with this, after all meat is meat and it doesn't matter how you get it. I'm just saying that in my opinion there's something to be said for learning an animal's habits, tracking it, and killing it without bait.
