[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5848630, member: 20583"] You're not. Most folks have enough self worth and integrity to WANT to do things the right way. Cheating is easy and offers no real reward. Most people understand that and live accordingly. Baiting is literally an attempt to buy a big buck in a bag. And it's expensive. Really expensive if done effectively. By contrast a bag of clover seed to plant 1/4 acre is $30, lasts for years, and requires only a cheap sprayer with some roundup. Yet the pro baiting crowd say that deer hunting is a rich man game because they can plant plots. The way I see it is baiting costs infinitely more than plotting but requires none of the time and labor. It can be argued that both attract deer but one puts a deer in a very specific spot while the other does not, so hunting over bait cannot be honestly compared to hunting over a plot. It also cannot be a landownership thing because the proposal is private lands only. So the nuts and bolts of baiting is wanting to buy a way to put a deer in a specific spot so no scouting, labor, etc. is required. All the comparisons to food plots and saying legal baiting would level the playing field with the rich guys is all just deflection. At its core it's all about buying a buck in a bag. [/QUOTE]
