I'm in the NO baiting camp.

I guess for me "baiting" is about sitting there in a tower, looking over a large feeder, with several deer standing around eating corn, and being told "their" names as they eat.
Being told WHEN they will show up. Being told not to shoot any of them, like the "white-faced 4", or the "tight little 6", or any of the countless does because you are waiting on an 8pt or larger to step out.
I've seen a dozen deer standing around those feeders at once, from yearlings to young 6pts, just eating like squirrels.
That aint hunting to me. Sorry.

That was an experience on a previous lease "club", that I did not participate with long.

Thousands of lbs of corn a year, that we all had to put in some $$ for.
Putting in man hours to keep shooting lanes open, or paying an extra $$.
Paying the percentage of lease $$.

Factor in gas prices driving there, and aggravation with the hunters, it was much cheaper to buy beef.

Although to those hunters (who didn't even eat their kill), it was strictly about antlers.

I am just a different kind of hunter.
