I'll also say that this is a VERY Tough subject. Some people want to only kill a big buck. They put money and effort to do that. They may have lots of money, they may not. Some people don't really care the size or age of a deer they kill, they just have fun doing it. Without writing an essay, baiting, I think can make most peoples hunting experience better. Will I bait? No, I'm fortunate enough to hunt family owned crop land. But I don't really have a problem with it. In an interview with a young Ted Nugent he said he was brown bear hunting with Fred Bear one time and they hadn't had any luck. Fred shot one of their pack mules in the head with a colt single action, ate some of it and used the rest for baiting bears. They ended up killing one. Imho, Fred Bear is beyond any of us as far as hunting goes. He utilized his options and did what it took to make his hunts enjoyable.
