I think txmarshmonkey hit the nail on the head....In NC we have too many deer...In 1978 there were about 750 killed on the highway statewide...Last year it went over 15,000....What a waste....I've always said, I don't care how you kill them, you can run over them with a pickup as far as I'm concerned, as long as its legal in your state and you don't waste them...
Its none of my business how you hunt and none of yours how I hunt, as long as I am within the regulations.

We have just really gotten our turkey population up to a good level in the past few years, I lived in Georgia and Virginia in the late 70s and early 80s..
They had more turkeys then than NC has now....

As far as baiting bears, its been shown that they get a sugar high from doughnuts and crave them when baited...

But I believe it all comes down to each states population and how the state wants to control the herd...

Heck....It was illegal to gamble in NC a few years ago, now we have a lottery....

The Government determines what is legal and what is not..........
