Default RE: Should hunting over bait be illegal in your area?

Baiting shouldn't be an ethics issue it should be a health issue...Comparing it to deer calls and deer scents is obsurd. Bait piles spread disease plain and simple...it unnaturally congregates animals making ita centralized location to spread disease among a herd...Plus most don't realize that the most common bait (corn)is not good for the health of the deer.

I've said many many times....Baiting should be "by Permit Only" like our Crossbow law here in WI. You must be disable or over a certain age to obtain a permit....any able bodied person does not need a bait pile to kill a deer in WI.
