I think it's funny how the people talk about they wouldn't be proud of a deer they killed over bait probably never have hunted over it because it's illegal to do so in their state. In Texas we can hunt over bait legally. Last year the three of us that bowhunt together never shot any of our deer hunting over bait. Just because it's there doesn't necessarily mean it's like riniging a dinner bell. I didn't even see a deer near my feeders and 99% of our pics of deer at the feeders were at night.

This is like the high fence debate, if we keep arguing about it amongst ourselves, chances are that at some point in the future we won't have to worry about it anyway because none of us will be hunting. If you don't believe me just ask hunters that use dogs in parts Alabama; or at least used to use dogs. That's been going on for generations in the South but now there are several counties where you can't hunt with dogs. Don't fool yourself into thinking that it can't happen to "ethical" hunters because you're only kidding yourselves.
