RE: baiting vs. non baiting
I personally do not pile up apples or pour out grain for deer but I do hunt around orchards and fields oh yeah and I hunt around acorns now some would say that I hunt over bait but as I dont put it there and nature does yes I take advantage of it. Bowfanatic is right on this is a useless post we all hunt our own ways and do what works for us. If it is legal to hunt over bait in your state and you do then there is nothing wrong with it. To me there is no difference in that and sitting on a trail leading to their feeding grounds. Oh and what about the guys that hunt the RUT yeha thats real sporting lets wait until they are so hor=y they cant see anything but the doe in front of them and them shoot them.
Well wakeup and smell the real outdoors I have hunted deer for over 40 years and the hunting is far better now then it was when I first started and only seems to be getting better. I have gotten better at finding deer and at figureing out how they move and what they do and that is the main reason that I now take at least one deer a year with my bow. And the fact that I have some pretty good place to hunt.
I do have a friend that hunts over bait that he places way out in the mountains and so far this year he has no deer at all while I on the other hand have a freezer full and I am hunting on the edge of fields oh I'm sorry I guess that is baiting .
