Just for clarification, if baiting deer is unethical shouldnt we outlaw the baiting of fish? Instead of putting a worm on a hook, which clearly lures in fish with an unnatural food source, shouldnt we just drop a bare hook in the water in a channelwhere fish area known to swim through? Then when we see one swim by naturally we just pull up on the line and try to hook it? Or is that different? I'm a little confused..
