It is really well done. This is an interesting and well thought out article. I, like you, had not given it much thought as I live in PA where you can't bait. But lately as I watched hunting shows where they hunt over a feed plot, I started to wonder how close it was to baiting. Thans for taking the time to break down the issue in a fair and balanced way. Nice article. This is my first time to your site. It is really well done. This is an interesting and well thought out article.

I spent 5 years in the Northwoods of Wisconsin were baiting is the norm and is legal. Now there is a huge advantage to hunting over corn or other bait. If a deer is in the area they may approach your feed in the daylight area. However, you will have to be on top of your game still. If you stink, no deer. If you are noisy in your stand or blink, no deer. If you set yourself up in an area that deer can easily pick you out of the normal environment, no deer. Sure the deer will still eat your corn or whatever, but they will do so after dark. Having experienced both sides I personally would prefer baiting... Our ancestors used the method to hunt and I don't feel that it is cheating. We were designed to be thinkers not chasers like wolves. We can't smell them, we are too clumsy to sneak up on them regularly. we need another method... Ambush? Just my opinions. I live in the great state of Tennessee which does not allow baiting.
