By your definition I hunt bait, because I hunt food sources and use scent. I hunt in NJ which allows baiting all the time and PA which will now allow baiting in my area on private land. I usually don't put bait out, because as Jeff said, in many cases it doesn't work. In PA I may try it in late season since most of the food sources in my private areas are scarce by then so it may be effective.

My stance on baiting has changed since I read "Year-Round Trophy Whitetails" by Joe Brooks. He puts it very clearly. To kill the biggest bucks in your area you have to use any and every means possible within the confines of the law. In other words, if it is legal and gives you an edge, DO IT!
