what is legal,ethical or acceptable in the hunting circle could be debated forever! if it is legal,it is ethical and sporting.we may not agree that the method of hunting is the way we choose to hunt,but should not condeme those who do.i don' t agree that a dog should be allowed to cold trail a nocturnal buck from his bed when he has learned to survive from those of us that choose to still hunt.however,i do not want to force my selfish standards on those who choose to hunt legally with dogs as long as they do not break the law.i believe that planting food plots to lure deer into places where they normally would not go is baiting.i do not condeme this method although it does not meet my standards.in summary,each of us has the choice to hunt in any legal manner we want to without insisting everyone comply to OUR standards.
