I am from Southern Il Myself And It took me a while to accept Baiting...In Texas its part of the deer hunting Religeon to bait...every body does it.

Let me tell ya, For all you Midwestern boys out there its very easy to judge baiting when all you have around you are soybeans, corn and wheat fields not to mention Forests exploding with Acorns!

Its a different story in Texas...The areas That I hunt if you can even find one white oak you have a treasure! Deer are more prone to " free Range" out here more than Northern Deer. Biating just evens up the hunting game out here thats all.
