I don't think baiting is generally like the anti-baiters picture it (e.g.
a trance like deer drawn to the sweet surupy molasses he just can't resist, while the lazy hunter drinking coffee and smoking sits in his 4' x 6' treehouse blasts away).

Usually it involves feeding the deer rice bran , corn or soybeans pretty regularly on a timer = good. Deer are elusive and generally all you see during daylight is fawns, although you can have some early season success (especially with bows). But once the guns start booming most quality deer are not going to step out in a lane for that bait (food). It is an awful lot like a food plot in this respect. It attracts more deer and helps pattern them, but to get quality deer you still need to pick an ambush point or get them during the rut, etc.

I regularly hunt some land that has soybeans (farming) and we are fortunate enough to not have to do any baiting. But on some other property I hunt it is mostly scrub pine and surrounded by a lot of other similar hunting property and the baiting (feeding) is what keeps the deer around and gives people the chance to take them (almost always not in the act of feeding).

Back to the issue of too many deer. Based on what I said above, I don't think baiting is going to help at all, and if anything it will draw more deer (and other critters) to that property and will make it worse.
