I hope it never passes. I think it would severely harm the image of hunting. I think our days are numbered anyway and we are just making it more simple for the anti's to take it away from us. Find someone that does'nt hunt and tell them that baiting may be legal in the near future. See what kind of reaction you get.

.....there would be a big issue where many TN deer hunters would start baiting, not because they really want to bait, but because of the we must "keep up with the Joneses" effect. If you think your neighbors are heavily baiting, drawing many of "your" deer over to their place, then you may be inclined to heavily bait, just to get back where you where before the baiting became legalized.
Thus, on top of all the other issues, baiting could become one of the most expensive aspects of many people's deer hunting, and ironically, with no improvement in their hunting situations.
This is my same opinion. It would wind up just making hunting more expensive on everyone. Otherwise, I can see both sides and "if legal", just like now, you do your thing I'll do mine.

If it is legal anywhere....duh, it is, i have no problem with it everywhere, duh, what is the difference from one state to the next.
The debate is old and stale and opinions are as common as the pieholes located on each end of the human stature. I can swing with either way but dont care for the enclosed fences and what they do to hunting, which in my opinion change the dynamics also but there are many within earshot or eyeshot of this statement who have done so and dont have any problem with that either. Cant we just get along?

Baiting = no sport, no skill needed, your taking an unfair and un-natural advantage of an animals basic need..."food", for that matter it takes all the hunt out of hunting, anyone who baits does not truely know or want to know how to truely hunt...they just want to kill things IMO, if all someone wants to do is kill something then they need a therapist cause they have serious repressed aggresions issues from childhood....LOL....they probably do...right?...LOL, if they allowed baiting they should change the licensing to "baiting license" instead of a "hunting license", I find hunting to be a spiritual experience and for me and I just think it should be a sport in which respect from hunter and hunted is earned through skill, true woodsmanship etc., but if TWRA thinks it is OK then I would respect thier decision but would not bait nor be a supporter of it most stupid thing i have seen in a while no different hunting over a food plot or salt licks heck dont hunt the rut either cause no sport, no skill needed, your taking an unfair and un-natural advantage of an animals basic need..."sex",
well I've never planted a food plot or hunted over one and I've never hunted over salt blocks
what is really unintelligent about your comment DA is calling a natural occurance like the rut unnatural or maybe refering to a thread as if you had "seen" it rather than read it...LOL, either could be interpretted as truely stupid
the rut is one of the only natural advantages we have, besides praying to the "All Mighty" for it to get here we have NO control over it, another natural advantage is knowing what natural food source to hunt and when to hunt it, we have weather forcasting & moon charts which is an advantage, and I think some of us have larger brains than deer and that is an advantage too
All smart ars comments aside and I'm just messin with you DA so don't get your panties in a wad, I know you eat what you kill and I respect that you kill for food and not just to kill, I think your a big part of this forum and I am glad to have the privilege to bicker a bit
I've heard some good points here and one that I think runs true is a mature buck will most likely not use an unnatural/non-native food source during shooting light, and baiting is a great way to inventory a local heard that you want to manage(QDM plug here)
If baiting was legal it wouldn't change my hunting style a bit, nor would it affect my success or failure as a trophy hunter
so does it really matter? No

we've all seen DA's corn feeders in action......I know beef farmers that don't have corn feeders that big...haha.
Food plots are no different than feeders, IMO. if you plant them to HELP the deer then don't hunt over them. If you plant them to attract deer to shoot, then call a spade a spade and call these food plots BAIT.
I don't agree with hunting over any unnatural source of food or nutrition, not even a salt block. I can take you to a farm right now that has two plastic water buckets sitting out in a field to hold rain water for the deer to drink......
Is this legal, sure. Is it ethical, maybe. But it is unnatural. The hunter is betting that a deer will come to that water source and that is baiting, IMO.
Now, if you want to dig a pond, then go ahead.
IMO, any thing that a hunter does to change the natural movement of deer should be illegal. Hunters should take pride in being able to beat the deer in it's natural daily travels and not use tricks to draw deer to the hunter.
If you require HELP in killing a deer, then maybe you should have your deer hunter card revoked......hahahahahaha. J/K

I personally dont hunt over a bait piles but i dont have a problem with someone else doing it as long as its legal.A bait pile does not by any means guarantee you a "big" buck anyway contrary to what some seem the think.
