I was in our local wal-mart just the other day when they rolled out 2 pallets of deer cocain which is illegal in the state. I asked the guy who they were going to sell it to, he replied "people buy this up as fast as we can put it out" I stated "it is illegal to use here" he stated "no it isn't" I grabbed the lawbook off his counter and showed him the law.... He didn't have anything more to say.
IMO follow the law. I have hunted in states where you could bait and in states where you could not. The end result is that the deer is dead either way and quite frankly I don't really think baiting gives a hunter an edge unless they feed all year long and grow fat, lazy deer.
