Great points guys. I can see where everyone is coming from and respect everyones opinions.

About dog hunting: hunting is hunting, whether you hunt ducks with a hawk, take grizzlys in alaska with a bow, or run deer dogs in a block of woods. (Keep in mind that running fox with dogs in some places of the world is a very wealthy and classy sport!) The animals you hunt still have an advantage, whether it be sense of smell/eyesight, running through water and eliminating all traces of scent, and legal shooting times!

To me baiting is defined as things such asa food plot, a corn pile, scents, calls, decoys, etc...It doesnt matter what the size of the bait is or how you use; it still attracts/fools game.
