You know, I've been reading hunting forums for several years and I've read a lot of "Killed This" stories and seen a lot of happy hunting pictures posted. I just don't seem to recall any that started out with, "I shot this deer over a corn pile we been keeping fresh all year...."
And I don't recall a single proud trophy pic with a big corn pile in the foreground.

Jerry Stromyer, 24, of Kincaid, bit the blasting cap as a prank during a party late Tuesday night, said Cpl. M.D.Payne. Another man had it in an aquarium hooked to a battery, and was trying to explode it," Payne said. "It wouldn't go off and this guy said, 'I'II show you how to set it off."

Wow, that must have generated some kind of chamber pressure.

Blasting caps detonating create a violent explosion. Contrary to what some may think, they are not some sort of mild-mannered firecracker. They are explosives that can do major, major damage. I've heard of people using them here many, many years ago to take deer in the manner I jokingly referred to earlier. When the deer bites down on the apple, the cap detonates and kills the deer.

Baiting or not: can a factor be just how wild we find the wilderness?
If we see the deer herd like a rescource that need to be managed, cared forthen perhaps baiting is more accepted than if we in contrary have a perspective in which we find the wild to be truly wild and that we are expeiencing more of an adventure as guests rather than the caretakers.
It is not my intention but maybe Ive just pead off both thepro andthecon side here.[&:]

The question was "should blah blha be legal in YOUR area". I'm not going to reread the whole thread but I don't remember anyone saying that they would change the law any where they don't live. Most everyone seems to SAY they are perfectly happy with the law the way it is right now where they live regardless of either way it falls.
Only ones who seem pead off are the ones who live where they bait and do bait and they are only pead off because it's cheating, they know it, but they get mad if any one says it. Nobody has suggested a federal law to stop cheaters any where from baiting any more than a law nation wide to stop cheaters from shooting sitting ducks.
It's a local issue, if some states don't mind cheating or raising their kids to master baiting instead of learning to hunt, then that's their problem not mine. It's already against the law to bait most game animals in Indiana, we don't want master baiters here no matter how long they've been doing it.
Indiana promotes hunting not baiting and we want to support hunters not master baiters who want to pretend to be hunters.
