Personally, I don't like baiting. Chastise me as you must, but to me it is cheating. Please don't bring up, out west, because that is a 100% different situation on which I have no ground to stand. But in NY, and where you hunt on smaller tracts of land, there is no reason for baiting. It is not fair chase.
Ok, go ahead, let my ruthless disembowlment begin.....
