While I see your point on the corn pile issue, the use of sex or food scents, which is really essentially baiting also, but is in a whole different ballpark IMO. If you start taking too much away, what's morally acceptable...and to whom? Should you be able to use man-made bleat calls or grunt calls or only calls that are made from corn cobs and sticks? Those are tricking the deer as well. Rattling antlers, calls, even treestands. We could go on with that for days and bicker about what should and shouldn't be allowed,and I agree with what you're saying, but as long as each state has different rules dictating the deer hunt in that given state, I don't know if we can sit here and knock it....whether we agree with it or not. Many people P&M about the dog hunts down south. I'm not in a position to disagree with it so I stay out of it.

For the record, it's illegal in parts of my state to bait at all, and in some areas a 2 gallon maximum is allotted. And you're right, it's nottruly nothunting per se in my opinion either, but plenty are out there doing it and until they tell me it can't be done...there's nothing I can do about it anyway.
