I find it amusing the some hunters think they are superior because they dont use "bait". But think nothing about hunting that oak grove, picked corn, soybeans, water hole, alfalfa field. apple orchard, persimmon treeto increase their chances of seeing game.
Living in Indiana, I feel any legal means to take deer should be understood and tolerated by fellow hunters or youran elitist cannibal. To judge others on how they legally take game is wrong.

Couldn't have said it better. I understand some hunters just put out bait and don't put in the time but there are people who hunt over bait that put in more time than their counterparts.
Great statement tickman
I agree 100%, most the people that dont use bait are the ones hunting all the agricultural fields, up north we dont have fields around us so we use bait. and since all the bait shops are still selling bait, I would imagine most people are still going to bait, got all our feeders turned off on our property so it will be interesting to see how many deer we see this year without bait. If I see more deer and better bucks I will be convinced to stop using bait.
Everywhere i have been is selling corn, carrots, deer cain etc. 2 for 1., Buy one get one free.
In my opinion people are still going to bait, not all but more than we think. The stores will still sell products for baiting.
It's really not going to effect me since i hunt on 80 acres that is mostly corn and beans with hardwoods and some fields around.
