Ive rifle hunted deer bears and hogs over bait and spotlighted hogs from a truck in TX too, on many, actually most of those hunts I came home with nothing.
On the other hand, I hunt small thickets in suburban NY, where baiting is illegal and you can only use a bow in most of them, to many thats "ethical" hunting and challenging but I can tagg out on at least a doe, within an hour everytime I go into one of those spots if I wanted to.
Point being "easy" aint always easy. Harvesting wild animals, any wild animals is an accomplishment and ethical IMO.
