Dont go saying that baiting deer is like shooting fish in a barrel, I hunt in Northern MI and baiting is about the only way to hunt up here and every person i know that hunts up here uses bait and it is not that easy. Unless you have hunted over bait yourself you should not be saying its not hunting and its like shooting fish in a barrel, come up here sometime and try hunting with bait and you will see that it is not that easy and is still very much hunting.
