Default Baiting?

I have found in all the years of deer hunting that most people are against what they have never really tried. That seems to be the norm and is very reasonable when considering things like drugs and alcohol. However, I was raised in a state where baiting has always been legal. And I don' t have a problem with it and in fact I do it. Now I understand that most people have harsh opinions about this subject but I think maybe it is either because they have never done it or it is illegal where they live and they are just jealous. Not to mention that state laws are really screwed up. In the state of Alabama it is legal to plant a five acre food plot with most attractive plant available but they can not use corn feeders.

The challenging part of this post is not to imply a partial stance on such a subject, but to get a feel for how you guys and gals feel about it. Understanding that in places like WI baiting has been made illegal due to CWD infections in the deer herd, I will say that I support the actions of those who changed the laws. However, in other states it is not sensible. There is tension between the states that allow it and those who don' t. Texas for example is extremely open about and they are consistanly critized for it. As a matter of fact I work with a few people from the states that won' t allow it and the most common statement is that when the dinner bell rings( timed feeder going off) the deer come running. I have seen such a thing but in my home state of Louisiana the deer come when they get ready to and most of the time it is after dark.

So with way to much written for a simple question:

Baiting....for it or against it?

Good Hunting.
