BAIT HUNTING TURKEYS
 
As the laws are different in each state I am interested in knowing how many are foror againsthuntingturkeys over bait.

Me I see no sport in it, after all it's called Hunting not Shooting. Just my opinion.

I don't do it... Not legal here. Wouldn't do it if it was, but I'm not gonna take anything away from someone who kills one over bait as long as it's taken legally and ethically.

Illegal here in Nebraska also. My own opinion its anunethicallazy way to hunt no matter what the game is, deer, hogs, whatever. Its one thing to have out feeders during winter months in the north to help the game through severe winter conditions, but do hunt over feeders or feed is another.

Only exception that I might have is in bear hunting and the use of bait stations there.

So, what makes killing these over baitunethical and lazy, compared to killing a bear over bait?
