Did you read the baiting article that C.J. Winand wrote for the new Bowhunter magazine? It broke the issue down well and gave both the pros and cons. The cons include the spreading of diseases by congregating deer and the privatization of deer to a good bait site, as it would draw deer away from natural areas and hurt a non-baiters chances in doing so. The pros included being able to watch more wildlife and the safety factor of remaining stationary and shooting downward. He concluded that we need better rules to regulate baiting and that we as hunters must be watchful that we do not harm the resource with our hunting methods. We don’t want outsiders having to step in. As you know Pa. is considering allowing the use of baiting to draw deer from areas off limits to hunting in an effort to control the deer numbers in these areas. They state that it is better we do the harvesting than let the non-hunting public get accustomed to non-hunting methods like snipers. It may also force the perfection of birth control methods that would not be in our best interest.
