I saw something on another forum that I thought was pretty good in terms of considering this argument. 'What would a Native American do?'

Do you think he would be opposed to laying down a pile of corn in order to attract a game animal to a location and improve his chances? I tend to doubt that.

Here's what Ted Nugent has to say about it:

The biggest point for me in this debate is that its much ado about nothing. If it is within the the lawful/legal limits set by the area/region you're hunting in, then what's the issue? Its a philosophical argument when there are real issues and threats to hunter's rights real and present. This is small potatoes. what I don't understand and probably never will is the need to impugn others for their methods that are well within the law.
