I guess I would probably bait if I could but I can't and I think there are a lot of guys who would if they could.
I guess if I had a chunk of land I could plant everthing from sugar beets to apples and every seed mix in between. At least then I wouldn't be baiting and violating the laws. Not sure what the difference is though.

I also think baiting may contribute to the spread of CWD and blue tounge but I'm just guessing.
