[QUOTE="MickThompson, post: 5847681, member: 3172"] I'm saying that "leveling the playing field" is a fallacy and one not worthy of pursuing. The pro baiting arguments feed into this "oppressed vs privileged" dynamic in our society today. I'd just as well keep that out of my hunting. It may be an unpopular opinion but it's mine. If my neighbor has more equipment, more and/or better land, and more time to manage theirs, any amount of bait doesn't negate that. If anything, they'll keep doing what they're doing and still be able to put down more bait than I can afford, furthering the gap between me and "them" and I resent them more because of it. And even if it did "level the playing field" why should that be a concern of the TWRA? Shouldn't they concern themselves with equal opportunity instead of the perception of equal outcomes? [/QUOTE]
