You all have it just plain wrong. You're not hunting unless you're chasing the deer through knee high prairie grass wearing nothing but a loin cloth and carrying a sharpened stick. All you people out there wearing all your fancy clothes with projectile weapons you didn't make without the use of tools, able to shoot over 10 yards, are ruining hunting for us REAL hunters!
This whole discussion makes me want to go shoot a deer at 201 yards over bait and under an oak tree. And I'm gonna use a 223 Rem and take a neck shot, too. Just wait until I post pictures to really pi$$ everybody off!
As for bait, if you want to use it, fine. Whatever floats your boat. I'm a cheapskate, so I'd rather just go find an oak tree or a corn field next to a deer trail and take my chances.
