If baiting is legal i dont have a problem if others do it. If i personally had to hunt over bait i would sell my bow call it quits. I dont think it is an effective way to get big bucks, but i have never done it either. as far as it being sporting, however u hunt with a bow it is going to be difficult, baiting just takes away the whole scouting element, to me that is the best part of hunting. Now people that sit over a bait pile with a .300 mag, i think they would be better served going to the grocery store and buying meat.
