Baiting should be legal IMO. In some areas this may the only way to get deer to frequent the property you can hunt. If you want to put out a nutricious food that the deer will benefit from I do not have a problem with than. In some instances the bait being used may not be healthy for the deer and this I have issues with.

An alternative to baiting would be to improve wildlife habitat on your property in the form of cover and food sources. Some may call this baiting and I can understand that arguement. I have planted two small food plots for the deer in my area. These are food sources that will be avaiable to the deer throughout the year and provide them nutritiuos forage they will benifit from. This is the first year I've planted food plots. I have no intentions of hunting over the plots. They were planted to supplement the deers diet and to improve the health of the herd. By improving the habitat the deer will frequent the aera more and provide better hunting opportunities. I will hunt from the same time tested stand I have for the past 12 years. I'll hunt the funnels and travel lanes that have produced for me in the past, hopefully with more sightings of bigger healthier deer as a result of the habitat improvments.

And IMO also. I believe there are ways to increase your odds without sitting over a bucket of feed.
