[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4172496, member: 1409"] IMO, baiting becomes more about shooting than hunting. [u][b]I have no personal "problem" with those who choose to shoot animals over bait where legal[/b][/u], just don't see it as being much different than shooting a cow coming to a fresh bale of hay at its daily feeding station. I've known more than one pretty fair deer hunter who started (legally) hunting a lot over bait in other states. Over time, they all became [i]LESS[/i] effective hunters, seeming to lose much of their former hunting skills. Speaking of which, there is no better way to never learn to otherwise effectively deer hunt, than by regularly shooting deer over bait instead of actually "hunting" them. For the purpose of that statement, I'd even include most food plots and fields, although they don't concentrate deer to approach a very small "spot" anything like "bait" poured from a bag. There [i]CAN[/i] be much more to deer hunting, than just sitting, waiting to shoot. Same for turkey hunting. [/QUOTE]
