I agree with what davidmil said. another reason i don't like to bait is IMO, it takes the challenge out of the hunt.

anybody can go sit by a corn pile and shoot a deer. because you know he's comin sooner or later.

I like the challenge of findin the trails-rublines-scrapes- all the essential sign it takes to make your plan come together. but even after findin all the sign, you then have to figure out where to set your stand to get the shot. all this, as opposed to climbing in a stand over a corn pile, or somethin that's been planted.

that said, I don't have anything against the hunter that chooses to hunt over bait. as I've always beleived- it should be the hunters choice, includin the weapon of his choice<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
