This topic has been beat to death and it always results in nothing decided or positive. BUT once again I will join in.........I agree it has nothing to do with ethics. It is just another technique. If it is legal than it is a personal choice. Baiting requires the same amount of scouting, knowledge, deer movements, etc as many other techniques. Dropping a bale or setting up a feeder anywhere will not equal success. A lot of misconceptions on exactly what is involved with baiting, feeding or planting techniques for game. In noway can you assure animals will eat during legal time, it is very similar to sitting a crop or natural food source...you hope they show up before you have to leave!
