Thats asking for both positive AND negative feedback...

yes i hunt over bait i hunt over filds and i hunt in the woods with no bait.

its leagle it is ethical and it is hunting whethar some people think so or not.

2 of the maine reasion i bait the nabors do so to get the deer oer here you nearly have to. and to kill more deer. to keep me from having to get a cd permit.

I myself do not bait the reason is where I hunt and set my stand has alot of natural food acorn's for the most and it has good cover so deer hold up in it all day,as far as hunting over bait if someone put's out bait and help's them harvest a deer or to help bring deer in to thier property because the land they own or hunt on is not that big or deer don't hold up on it then great I will even help them carrt the stuff out,we all use different method's or different equipment there is a million different thing's we could get a stupid argument going on,but instead let's back the other guy up even if you dont like how he or she hunt's if you dont approve then fine dont respond.But if everyone dont or we argue over trival thing's peta has another victory even if they dont know it UNITE SPORTSMAN

Those againest baiting may, or may not, be the same ones who hunt by a corn field or food plot, what's the differance? Just asking.

I do not like to bait because I think it makes the deer skittis. Big bucks will only feed at night(that's why they are big bucks). Good way to cull the doe population.

If it's legal and in your area. More power to you.

Let's all show some love.

I personally do not pile up apples or pour out grain for deer but I do hunt around orchards and fields oh yeah and I hunt around acorns now some would say that I hunt over bait but as I dont put it there and nature does yes I take advantage of it. Bowfanatic is right on this is a useless post we all hunt our own ways and do what works for us. If it is legal to hunt over bait in your state and you do then there is nothing wrong with it. To me there is no difference in that and sitting on a trail leading to their feeding grounds. Oh and what about the guys that hunt the RUT yeha thats real sporting lets wait until they are so hor=y they cant see anything but the doe in front of them and them shoot them.

Well wakeup and smell the real outdoors I have hunted deer for over 40 years and the hunting is far better now then it was when I first started and only seems to be getting better. I have gotten better at finding deer and at figureing out how they move and what they do and that is the main reason that I now take at least one deer a year with my bow. And the fact that I have some pretty good place to hunt.

I do have a friend that hunts over bait that he places way out in the mountains and so far this year he has no deer at all while I on the other hand have a freezer full and I am hunting on the edge of fields oh I'm sorry I guess that is baiting .

If its legal do it

I always wonder when someone first post is on a subject like this.<img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

Troll alert?

Deer baiting was outlawed in Wisconsin this year because of CWD. I did notice that I see a lot more deer now than last year on public land when baiting was legal. The deer I do see are also browsing, and not just transiting from a bedding location to a bait pile.

I don't bait. but have nothin against the hunter that does.

We have to bait where i live or you dont see any deer at all! My neighbor owns a farm market. He owns the property that butts up to ours and he has truck loads of bait that he brings in. He has thousands of left over pumpkins that he also uses. I do my early season scoutin and it does me no good cause as soon as he starts baiting you dont see deer anymore. The little bait that I do put out is just enoug to see 1-3 deer a day if your lucky.
