Do you hunt over bait?

In some areas it is perfectly legal, in other areas, it is against the law. Some folks think it is fine, while other think it isn’t ethical.

What do you think?

You left out..just No..it's legal..I don't think it's wrong. I just choose not too.

In MD I can hunt over bait on private land. So when on public... not so much.

by baiting do you mean huning over a bean field? or a some ol boys corn pile?

Most of the time, if you include food plots. Wasn't this poll done like 2 weeks ago?

In Virginia, where I hunt, it is not illegal to hunt over an agricultural plot, but it is illegal to hunt over a corn pile, mineral lick, mechanical feeder, or the like.

So, in this case, hunting over a bean field, corn field, or under an oak tree isn't considered hunting over bait.

Interesting poll. In some areas where I hunt that are very thickbait is a little insurance to make sure they stop in the very small shooting lanes.

I checked the Always one, because during MI gun season, we bait, but in IL I archery hunt and don't, because it is illegal.

Why do you ask?

Legal in KY. I use minerals & supp. feeding but havnt used a feeder in a while. We tend to have tresspassers on our property everynow and then so I would'nt be surpirsed to put up a feeder only to have it stolen the next week. [:'(]I usually thow out corn in the late season to help the deer out and do some selective herd harvesting of does.
