Swingin,
You're right I had a slight knowledge that it may be unethical. That is the main reason I wanted to check with other hunters and gather points of view so I can make the right decision. Not only have I not "baited" but I also remain 0 for 6 in the birds favor durin this winter hunt.
As far as I'm concerned and by having read all of your posts, I've come to the conclusion that it is not only illegal in TN but considered to be something underhanded by other hunters. If I get a bird I want it to be done right. Even with Kentucky 2 miles up the road from me ( KY allows baiting) I think I'll stick with the areas I know in and have scouted in TN.
