[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5855967, member: 11842"] I've never liked the "level the playing fields" argument for baiting. Playing fields don't need to be leveled. Some people just need a bigger playing field to participate in things they want to do. And if, to use a real life scenario, the housing/land costs prohibit most from affording it, that just sucks and I hate it. I myself know I'll most likely never be able to buy a nice house on 40 acres. Not because I don't work hard, because the housing market is more F'd up than I ever imagined it would get and we're screwed in that regard. Someone who owns 1.5 acres of land isn't supposed to be able to routinely kill deer there. It isn't enough land to be suitable for hunting on. Sure occasionally a deer could walk through and get dropped instantly with a neck shot but for the most part, that's not hunting land. That's nice land to recreate on, build fires, have a nice garden, and some chickens. But it's not deer hunting land. Doing something so detrimental to wildlife across the state just to "level the playing field" because everyone on <2 acres wants to kill deer is a not a smart solution. [/QUOTE]
