Yeah, I know, we don't own the deer, the state does but baiting can affect others who do not bait.
That is exactly right and the more that bait out and around where you hunt the worse it is to see deer of any type for exactly the reason I mentioned in my other post. I wish baiting had never started, but it's big business for stores up here in MI and IMHO the hunter that does it is as lazy as the deer that come to his bait.
