RE: OK Guys it's DEBATE time....
Here's a good example (not what most people would think).
1) NCWRC wildlife biologist tells me I (and others)need to take 12 or more deer out of the herd I hunt, this season.
2) Baiting is legal in my state
3) I have no problems with the practice
4) I will NOT be hunting over bait....because it's easier to kill them when you don't.
Germ's assessment of deer coming to bait is correct.....but I broaden it to ANY deer. ANY deer coming to bait is more "skittish"....and, to me, harder to kill.
