I've hunted over bait as well as food plots or agriculture fields. I see nothing wrong with it. Some people say it causes diseases, yet Texas is a state that uses more bait than any other yet there havn't been reports I"ve heard of about disease in Texas. To bait is to lure or entice which would include anything not natural including bait, agriculture fields, sex attractants, food plots, sacked food attractants, peanut butter, mineral sites, calling, rattling and other baiting. The old saying of "it depends on if it is your ox that is being gored" applies here, IMHO. If it is legal where you hunt and you have no personal problems with it, then go ahead. Just don't tell anybody else how they should legally hunt.
