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

but i also wonder if people who are so strongly against baiting use any doe in heat or dominant buck scents. you see these are baits. they just apeal to a differant part of the body not the stomach.
Even though this was covered back in chapter 1 I'll give you something to think about.

If the success ratio of using scent attractants was anywhere near the success ratio of baiting we wouldn't be having this conversation. In fact , even coming up witha success ratio of using scent attractants would hardly be scientifically provable.
I'd say the proof's in the pudding when it comes to a success ratio on baiting. The deer walk to bait pile and proceed to enduldge.

how can we gripe about the next guys methods as long as they are legal.
It's pretty easy , especially when "the next guys method" has a negative impact on the deer herd and hunting in general.
