Here's my opinion, hunting over bait as in bear hunting in a thick woods such as Maine, I don't consider unethical. One time I went bear hunting for a whole week. The guide placed me in a variety of stands over looking a bucket of old donuts. Let me just say, I saw one skunk and one tweety bird, that was it... not even a moose. I'll never do it again. But I will say this much, it was challenging. I don't believe it was unethical hunting over a donut bucket.

In NY where I live and PA... I believe planting food plots is the same as putting a bag of corn everyday of the year that the food plot is also available for eating. You have to remember, a food plot only provides food certain times of year. My opinion, planting food plots to attract game is unethical. Hunting near a corn field where the corn is planted to feed humans or livestock, is not unethical.

Everyone is this country is entitled to an opinion.
