If I grew up in an area where baiting was how everyone hunted, I probably wouldn' t know any different. But since I didn' t...I have a different opinion about it. I personally would quit hunting before I' d sit over a pile of bait. I don' t really consider it hunting, more like shooting. Training deer to come to a specific spot, at specific times doesn' t seem to require much skill. Folks kill deer all the time over bait, but I' d bet the # of mature bucks that visit bait piles during daylight is very slim.

That being said, if it' s legal where you hunt, and you want to do it....go for it. I won' t put you down for it, we all need to stick together as hunters...we got enough going against us as it is.
