this topic is so over dramatized,if you want to use bait and its legal fine,if you dont hunt over a food pile fine,the main point is no matter where you sit and how you do it its always an ambush,thats what hunting is,you can wait and do it the much more admirable way or you can cheat a little,to each his own(baitting is cheating in my opinion but who cares right,just becuz i dont baitand find a problem with it maybe you dont,this is my beef if you are so foolish and you cant see the difference in baiting and real hunting ifeel sorry for you,example of real hunting=hunting out of a stand or stalking and of course not over a bait pile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,baiting take a hunt in texas show up at daybreak your in the stand and havent seen anything its now about 10,the automatic timer goes off and within 2 minutes deeer everywhere the difference is easy you bait you cheat,I WILL SAY WHAT EVERY 1 ELSES IS SCARED TO WE WHO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY AND NOT OVER A PILE OF BAIT TRULEY ARE BETTER HUNTERS FLATOUT,I DIDNT POST THIS TO OFFEND ANY BROTHERN OF THIS SITE JUST SAYIN WHAT MOST OF US WERE THINKIN
