I'm pretty much in agreeance with everyone else - I wouldn't personally hunt over bait unless I had to, but at the same time I don't think it should be illegal. My grandfather was still bow hunting when he was in his late 70's. He has emphesyma pretty bad and can't get around much anymore, so he would sit up in the loft of his barn over a corn pile and shoot his doe every year for meat. Had baiting been illegal he wouldn't have had that opportunity.
