Whoa, who's talking about having no rules? And for the record I have been a very harsh critic of Ted at times. But regardless of my feelings about him I think he's right on these two issues.

First the no hunting on Sunday is one of the clearest violations of the separation of church and state that I have ever seen. If you think it's a sin to hunt on Sunday then fine, don't. But why should you have the right to force that religious belief on someone else?

Baiting is one of the strangest issues in the hunting world. There are people here in Alabama that think anyone that advocates the legalization of baiting with corn are just absolute unethical pond scum. Then those same people will board a plane, fly to Canada and shoot a bear over a bait station. Or go out west and hunt antelope by staking out the only water hole for 20 miles and waiting til the animals thirst overcomes it's fear of the double bull blind sitting at the waters edge. The same people will also hunt over a green patch. Also please explain to me why it's illegal to hunt over a corn feeder but if I'm rich enough to plant a field of corn I can legally hunt over it. Seems a tad inconsistent.

I have also heard the claims of disease concerns as a reason to keep baiting illegal. The thing that blows a hole in that baseless theory is places like Texas where they have been allowing it for many years without any more of a disease problem than any other state. Besides wouldn't deer feeding in the same small green patches and under the same white oak trees be exposed to the exact same dangers if there were any?
