Let's kick it up a notch. Even where baiting is legal it's low class. Hunter Wannabees.

I'm so sick of all of this crap of hunters critiquing other hunters. We're supposed to stick together. If we want to bag on anyone, it should be anti-hunters. No offense, but if you think that you're higher up than others because you don't bait, you need to think again. Think three times. And if you still think that of yourself, then you have problems.

I hear ya. What the hell is the difference from putting out estrus scent in the middle of the rut? Food, a desire to mate, they're both gonna get that buck coming your way. And davidmil, if it is "lowclass," then how come pro hunters do it? Micheal Waddell, Bill Jordan, Ted Nugent, The Drury Boys, even the Cabelas Brothers do it.

You’re committing a logical fallacy with the Food bait/scent bait association. You’re attempting to take the onus off of the corn and place it on the bottled scents you referenced. Sorry, but I’m not going there, because that isn’t part of the argument. Nice try though. In this situation as well as the ones that you referenced one must obey the law. That simple.
You see, there is a couple of problems here that seem to be facts, but I could be wrong. I’ve been wrong before you know; I thought OJ was guilty. Silly me…
They are as follows;
One - The amount of corn on the ground does not appear to be normal for simply harvesting a corn crop. I have experience harvesting corn, and in my area, corn is still on the stalk.
Two – There is more corn in the second picture. I guess the date was wrong on the camera? Y2K thing or something, or what was it? If the glove doesn’t fit; you must acquit…
Three – Assuming that the corn was placed there (see the ground and trees in the back ground that don’t look like corn field) it was done so illegally (see state laws).
Four – Lying. Please see above evidence and TRISTATEHUNTER’s posts.
Just so you know, we’re all humans who simply have something in common; we hunt. And that does not put us all in one be happy family, or place us on a unified team. So sticking together doesn’t sound real good to some of us if that means that we’re going to be associating ourselves with criminals.
Good day,
KP

If its legal = Its OK
Its its illegal = Its not OK.
The rest is a moral issue, everyone has their own idea of a perfect hunt and experiencing the satisfaction there after.....my personal opinion. I dont want to take a deer over bait. Is a natural occuring salt lick bait? Who cares in TN I can hunt it. Gosh we shouldnt be harping on other hunters as long as they are within the law and make an effort. If they screw up....we are all human. Its that simple. Quite frankly Im sick to death of this dang baiting debate. Something regarding it is posted on the forums everyday. I put out corn to get pictures and its gone 10 days before I hunt that area. Thats the law. Get over it.[:@]

If its illegal you shouldnt do. Do I bait? yes, i have 3 feeders that run all year around. My family owns 2 properties. The first one has a couple nice food plots and the other property which is very thick in cover has the 3 feeders. We have multiple trail cameras on both properties. As you would suspect, theres deer at the feeders at certain times of the day. So some people including me would hunt somewhere around there so i can have a better chance of baggin me a nice buck. BUT, on the other property, one of the cameras has got close to 50 pictures of a 150class buck thats on this same trail between 7 and 9am almost everyday. If i hunt on that this property everyday from 6 until 10am, that buck is gonna cross my path. No one ever considers that cheating and most of the people that "hate baters", have trail cameras around there properties.

Trail Cams are not illegal! And sorry to not be interested, but who really cares what you think about feeders if they're legal? Go do whatever makes you happy.
What do you suggest; we all start breaking the law, catch it on tape/film and share it with each other? Then we can sing camp fire songs together...
Go sit on your head...

As for being in West Virginia (where baiting is allowed), I do have my teeth, notmarried to my cousin, where shoes and have a football team (WVU) that is ranked #4 in the country.
Anyone seen his shoes, they're missing? Might have lost them in the corn pile or they got dragged up by the tractor.Possiblythat darn coon took them.
Good defense.........lol
