RE: baiting vs. non baiting
I do not, and will never bait. I beleive, in my own opinion, that baiting deer, isn't hunting. Drawing a deer in with food, and then shooting it, isn't hunting. It's just....Just...Not hunting. Hunting requires hours of preporation, time spent scouting, following the deer's trails. Finding scrapes and rubs. Picking out that perfect tree for your stand. And then somebody hunts over a bunch of grain or hay or some other form of feed, and gets a big buck. Then that guy will go to work and brag to his buddies about how he had to walk miles upon miles and then shoot 600 yards across a canyon then drag it up hill all the way back to his truck. Its just not hunting.
