Already is but I'm beginning to find more and more people doing it. For some reason instead of figuring out the cycle of suburban deer they'd rather throw out some bait to try and keep them in the area.

And that guy is shooting you a bigger load of crap that i left in the bowl after Christmas dinner.[&o]

Are you referring tomy post? If so, seen it with my own eyes bud! To be honest baiting has never been aso called "cheating" issue for me...Shooting a deer over bait isn't a big deal to me...It's the disease and nocturnalfactors....these things personally affect me.

Ionly take deer with my bare hands orthrow rocks at themand take hundreds per year. Anyone who uses a bow or gun is a cheater in my book.

It is legal where I hunt and I use bait. I have a planted food plot and I use corn. yes it changes there pattern, so what, it is supposed to. Deer adapt to ALL situations whether its looking for an alternative food source, chasing does, etc. To say it is an "artificial" way to change pattern doesnt make alot of sense.
Is putting up a decoy and using scent bait????? YES, it changes their patterns.
SO....whats the difference?????

It's cheating. That's the difference.
