I think you're going to get a lot of replies on this, and a lot of arguement. Personally I think baiting shouldn't be legal for deer. (In PA it is illegal and I'm glad, but a lot of states allow baiting) It isn't that hard to find a good travel route and find the deer trails and the places they go, instead of setting out food for them. I think it's a lot more challenging that way too. Which makes it a lot more rewarding.
