What is it then?

Websters Dictionary states that HUNT means
1.to chase or search for (game or other wild animals) for the purpose of catching or killing.
8.to engage in the pursuit, capture, or killing of wild animals for food or in sport.
11.an act or practice of hunting game or other wild animals.
Baiting - verb
To place a lure in (a trap) or on (a fishing hook).
Bait - noun

Food or other lure placed on a hook or in a trap and used in the taking of fish, birds, or other animals.
When your baiting your not hunting and there is nothing that is hunting when you bait michigan is trying to make there hunters hunt. And not bait. baiting should be illegal or dont call yourselves hunters. So ive given you 3 examples as to why baiting is not hunting sorry RORY I didnt wanna slam you but it seems there are some hunters on here without common sense or half a brain
Woah, so now it's personal attacks. All I did was ask a simple question. Ok, so if bait is not in the definition of hunting, neither is tree stands, or ground blinds for that matter. Is that not hunting either?

So according to your official definitions, both 8 and 11 would consider hunting over bait as hunting.

Yes....Yes it does...

BTW, I dont hunt over bait for deer either, for personal reasons....but that doesnt mean it isnt hunting.

So you stalk deer because you don't want to be a hypocrite, or you're just saying that because you don't want to be a hypocrite?

And if this isn't a personal attack, I'm not too sure what is.

Yes it sure does. nissan, it's been a long 9 days since you joined huh?



So baiting isn't hunting. Using treestands isn't hunting.

What about using a bow? I say that isn't hunting. If you don't get the deer with your bare hands you can't call yourself a hunter. No matter what.

No hunting is the act of searching or hunting for a deer. I wont use a tree stand. I just feel that baiting is hunting and your not doing anything you know where the deer will be. And I guess this is a personal preference. You guys dont care as long as everyone gets their deer. Im one of these guys who would rather find a deer along paths and game trails in valleys near streams and such. If you follow deer to corn fields or other food sources that not baiting thats knowing deer habitat.

Yes, it is called an ad hominem attack, also called an ad hominem FALLACY.

Which means it isn't true.

It is a quite common phenomena when someone has nothing good to say.
