Baiting is legal here in Arkansas, however I think I'm the only one that doesn't hunt over bait. Thats OK, usually small bucks and does killed over bait here. More big bucks left for me to go after.

I don't, unless you count hunting near white oaks baiting. baiting is illegal here in VA, but I wouldn't do it anyway. Just me.

I don't hunt over bait either, I just like fatting them up to shoot! (You know someone was going to post this)

They have a choice to eat it or not. I just went last weekend to fill15 55gallon drums of corn to use the next season, not to mention food plots.

I don't. I find it more exciting to pattern deer and hunt their natural movement rather than sit over bait.

I think old Uncle Ted said it best that anytime you hunt near a scrape or a known path or near any food supplys or water supplies its baiting. If you didnt hunt near this stuff youd probably have about as much chance of snagging some game putting your tree stand up in the front yard. So i sayuse the bait its all about the hunt and conservation of over populated game anyway. If you havent ever tried Acorn Rage and Cmere deer and they allow baiting where you live you are missing out trust me.

no bait. nothing will make you feel like a dirty whore quicker. but most of your older buck will not be killed during shooting hours over bait anyways.
