Why is it that there's a different thread on baiting every other day out here? Go back a few pages and reply to one of the hundreds of baiting threads already hashed around.
Fetz, nicely put.
If you don't think hunting over bait is hunting, then sell your stuff and go join PETA for the sake of Pete! Get off it. If you're not going to side with your fellow hunters but rather be against them, then I suggest a lifetime membership with HSUS is in order.
Good grief.

hunting over bait is not hunting. It is sitting and waiting for an animal to come in to your pile of food placed in the woods or wherever you are hunting (sitting).. Hunting is actually getting off your rear end and searching for rubs/scrapes, actual real food sources and outsmarting your buck/doe whichever. I am not one to preach but baiting is just plain old cheating. Anyone can carry a bucket of apples in the woods and sit 50 yards away with the 30-06 and pick off deer one by one but what fun is that? I personally like to challenge myself and see how good my skills are in actual real life hunting situations. I'd rather go 5 years without a bow kill than have to throw 100 pounds of corn 20 yards from my stand to get a decent buck.
