Comments
No, as a lifelong hunter I oppose this. The skills of ambush are hunting. Baiting is for the crowd that drives their 4 wheeler up to a feeder and waits. These folks should not be lazy hunters. Experience the experience, use nature to your ability. Baiting defies this practice!
Thank you,
I think you should be aloud to help control the dear not getting killed
Baiting deer should not be aloud! It takes the fun out of hunting!
This practice shouldn't be allowed. It's entrapment.
