Bait is one more tool that we came up with to feed ourselves and our families when hunting was required to survive. Are you going to go back 100 years ago and tell my great grandfather that he wasn't a hunter, because he fed his family by baiting rabbits into traps? Deer to a corn field or favored oak tree? Fish to a hook with some other fish on it?
To anyone who would say so, I say Grow up, and stop trying to measure your own penis against everyone else's. Stop making yourself feel better about who you are, by badmouthing other people.
How bout we talk about what Hunting REALLY is... acquisition of food by way of killing an animal... bait is no different than the bow and arrow, rifle, spear, knife, deadfall, or any other tool ever used by man since the dawn of time. Tools used to HUNT, KILL, and EAT animals.
