It's illegal to hunt over bait here in PA, but Gander Mountain still sells saltblocks and cracked corn by the truckload. So let's avoid the whole "legal/illegal" issue by pretending that everything goes. This discussion is only constrained by what YOU would/would not use.
I like Tembry would not use anything Illegal...sounds like a tough concept for you to grasp.. ??

Gr8 - maybe this whole "hypothetical" concept is just too much for you to wrap your brain around, so you might wanna sit this one out.

I would not use it if legal! Here are my reasons:

The challenge would nearly be gone, and that is why I bowhunt. No need to get close, no need to worry about shooting a sharp broadhead, etc. My biggest reason is it would not be a legitimate bowkill. I'd fight tooth and nail, any pending legislation of anything remotely close to what Quick posted.

I think Fran has been coating his food with a product lately. Stop eating the magic brownies Fran.

The most utility that I've been able to come up with - are for these special-regulation urban hunts. Where the hunters aren't "hunting" per se. Instead, they are "exterminating" an overpopulation of a particular game animaland doing so in tight quarters with housing developments, businesses and roadways. Rifles aren't an option there, given the nature of the surroundings.

Given asituation like that, I could see some real benefit to something like this. Just to avoid an ugly situation in somebody's yard or out in a public area.

And from the title I was thinking this would be about making a coating that would increase penetration by reducing drag. You know like the “coating” Clark Griswold sprayed on the sled.

I think they ought to allow it. It would be a lithmus test for hunter "natural selection".

I do this all the time. You just have to wait for the perfect shot and practice enough to make it. Most of mine go down within sight. No messy problems so far.
