It is funny how this post started about baiting, and ends up as a crossbow post. Posts about crossbows are old and ridiculous, move on.

P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)

I did use to be very anti-baiting. As recenty as the summer of last year I posted on Bowsite that it reminded me of shooting birds at a bird feeder. I am not so sure today. In many areas, it is the only way you can realistically expect to harvest a bear. It may not be my cup of tea, butI want to learn more about it before I throw any more stones. And I do dread us forcing them to adopt alternative methods of deer contrrol in areas that can't be hunted. But if it gives hunters a black eye, we may want the snipers to do that job. I just want to hear your thoughts on it. In some states like Michigan, it is the regular way to bowhunt. That is the state that CJ was speaking of mostly in his article.

In Md. baiting deer is legal except on state owned property. I keep a bait pile in my backyard about 60 yards from my house. I like to watch the deer as well as eat them. You can get a deer on bait but you better do it early during bow season. After the first day of gun season the deer will not show up on my baitpile until after dark. But one thing for sure my deer are fatter than the other deer I see in this area.

Blah, blah, blah, just skip his posts, guys.
I think baiting needs to be very closely looked at in areas where disease have been found. I'd be in support of a ban in any state where CWD has been found in the past year or two.
I think baiting is just another method, one I don't find very successful on mature bucks. It'll work just fine for a fat doe, especially in the late season. Too much work for me. Other than the spread of disease, I can't see any reason why it shouldn't be allowed.

Lochorns, I don't see any of us REAL bow hunters slamming crossbow hunters every chance we get, but I do see you trying to cause more trouble than anybody else on this site. You seem to think that the world should revolve around you. IT DOESN'T

Believe it or not Pope and Young recognizes deer taken over bait as fair chase. Most mature deer coming into bait will circle the bait area first before coming in. And they are nervous as can be. All that has to happen is a car come down the road and the deer run off. Lochorns I'll bet you can not get a deer on my bait pile with your bow. Deer coming into bait are much more wary than a deer walking down a trail.
