The big difference between food plots and baiting is that food plot are a plus for all wildlife year round.Baiting is just meant for the hunter and the hunter only.So you tell me whos more ethical the guy throwing out buckets of corn for month and then stoping.Or the guy useing plots as a land management tool offering food when most animals need it winter.It always seems those that plot are also big into making the habitat better on there land also trees,native grasses and the like.
