It always seem that hunters from states where baiting is illegal oppose it and those in states that allow it have no problem with it. Not 100%, but close. I have never talked to a hunter here that is opposed to it. Almost everyone does it in some form or another. It is legal, therefore it cannot be called unethical. That wouldn't be any different than someone who shoots a long bow deciding that compound bows are unethical, even though they are legal. We have high-tech compound bows, fiber optic sights, sight lights, climbing tree stands, scent killing sprays, calls for everything imaginable, estrous doe scent, some of it is even synthetic, and throwing out some feed is unethical.

My opinion, if it is legal in your area, it's a matter of personal choice.
