There are no "good points" for baiting.

That's a matter of opinion and it's yours and I disagree.I should have to choice to choose on private land.

I don't see much difference between food plots, and baiting. I have plots on my property. They attract deer from surrounding properties, and help hold them on yours. If superior hunting skills, and woodsmanship alone were adequate to take deer consistently, then most of us wouldn't use trail cams, minerals, food plots, or baiting.

It seems that several say they want baiting because they should have the right to choose. We live in Tennessee which is part of the United States of America. Here you have the right to vote(that is when you get to choose) for the people that either make the laws or puts someone in the position to make them. America has been that way a long time before any of us was born. Like said earlier, deer and all wildlife are not personal property. Where would this right to choose stop? Do we do away with our entire legal system? Should I have the right to drive 150 mph? Which laws do we eliminate so some can have the right to choose what the majority might not want?

Most deer hunters know very little about what is good feed for deer to eat. It is not like feeding cattle. Farmers either buy livestock feed that has a nutritional analysis done or send in samples from what they have grown. Much of the feed is also medicated and have vitamins added. Food plots have far more nutritional value that what will get poured out on the ground.

In my opinion if baiting was legal many will feed in late summer through end of season then stop. The deer would have come somewhat dependent on humans then get cut off at the worse time of year like now.

What someone does on their own private property concerning wildlife could very well affect the wildlife on my property. It would turn into a baiting contest in a very short time.
