I use rifle, bow, and muzzleloader depending on the season. No bait or block. Some years the only thing I'll carry is the ole stick-n-string and never get out the rifle.
I still stick to my statement I posted in the pen raised thread:
To each his own, but my opinion on the subject is: If a deer is born or raised in a fenced in area ( no matter how many acres ) then it can not be considered wild, if that deer is shot then it can not be considered hunting.
