To say taking an animal as a result of baiting is pathetic is harsh. I agree with the hunters who say it is all about preferance. I have hunted both ways with all types of game. I feel my "baited" hunts are just as rewarding and earned as my "non-baited" ones. Every hunter has their own ideas and should not be looked down upon for it. If you do not bait at all good for you, but do not criticize other's methods.
