i'll add one more log into the fire. I dont see baiting as unethical - no different than sitting over an oak tree dropping acorns. lets face it, we're predators. we kill, thats just nature and the way it is. As long as the animal comes to the bait on its own will (and has ample natural foods to chose from as well),and its legal in your state, I say who cares.

No different than sitting over a watering hole in the heat.
