BAITING........
WHAT DO YOU CALL SHOOTING DEER OVER BAIT OR AT FEEDERS?
WELL I DONT CALL IT HUNTING I CALL IT DEER KILLING,SIMPLE AS CATCHING FISH IN A BARREL WITH A NET.
PEOPLE THAT CALL THAT HUNTING DONT KNOW WHAT HUNTING REALLY IS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

RE: BAITING........
I hear ya on the baiting, but I hunt in northern michigan where the deer numbers have been down a bit. So the only way we have been able to get deer to come onto our property is by putting up a feeder. But in the southern part of the state I don't bait, I use more scent 'n' grunting tactics.

RE: BAITING........
Personally, I won't hunt over bait; it just doesn't seem highly sporting to me. But if someone is feeding their family with what they shoot, I wouldn't find any fault in doing so. Actually, I wouldn't fault anyone for doing so, if that's what they want to do. I just wouldn't do it myself; I hunt in the forest in the mountains because I like the challenge of really wild game. IMO faulting someone for hunting over bait is like a baseball player faulting someone for only playing slow pitch softball. Sure, baseball is more challenging than slow pitch, but if someone enjoys slow pitch, why should that bother me if it makes them happy?
