I sincerely hope this won't turn into a debate as to wheter to bait or not. That is not the intention, at all. Please don't let it go there.

"Flagellating a deceased equine" is the term that comes to mind.....and if it's legal in your aea....go for it.

It is legal in NC.....and the reason I don't do it is evident on the webcam thread. I'vewatched a few deer come into that thing.....and it's a classic baiting situation. They come in VERY skiddish. Its legal where I live....and there's a reason I don't hunt over it. It's easier to killdeer without it (WHERE I LIVE).
