I'm from Montgomery, Alabama and I don't have a real problem with baiting if thats how one wants to hunt but I have a real big problem with letting legislators set game laws. Here in AL our legislature is THE PITS! Thats how hunting bans have gotten on the books in states such as California and other places. These people are easily influenced by special interest groups with large checkbooks and Bambi lovers would love to donate to a legislator to get a bill passed and bypass the professionals at the game and fish dept. I say let the pros decide, with input from the hunting public, whether we need to allow baiting. The legislature here can't or won't even do anything about schools, crime, budget deficits, or anything else that they should be working on. They're too busy with stuff thats really not their job (State wiskey, State insect, pandering to whiners,voting themselves raises, etc.)
