I hunt where it's legal. Baiting isn't the problem, it's slob hunters that put out 50 gallons when 2 gallons is the limit. Sometimes I bait but not much anymore. I tend to put out a quart of corn so they stop by to see if some is there. Baiting has gotten much less effective because slob baiters put out so much corn deer gorge themselves all night and sit all day with a bloated stomach. The deer also come in less during the day because with all the timber wolves running around the dumb deer that come in twice a day are figured out real fast and are the deer with their hides scattered all over the woods. Deer now days spend very little time around a bait pile, especially in the day time because of wolves.
