To each his own. If you want to bait, then bait. If not then don't. I use feeders, food plots, mineral suppliments, scents, calls and anything else that is legal. Does this make me a bad person, H*** No! I have been in the woods all my life as a hunter and we use many BAITS. Get over it! Those big trophy hunts you see, many use feeders! If i hunted the northern states where it was field after field of corn, soybeans ect maybe baiting would not be needed.
