Never have understood why baiting would be illegal while you can put out all the scents and mating calls you want. Give any male species the choice and he'll wake up hungry every time. IMO scents and calls are much greater lures.
That being said I think each person should be allowed to utilize all methods to properly manage their herd. Limits are there for a reason, not just state but self imposed limits in managed areas. I also believe that as we progress and our personal goals or limits become easier to achieve that we should and quite often do challenge ourselves. Personal choice to refrain from the use of one or more of the lures available. Target one buck as the one you're after. I think these are natural progressions that few will ever enjoy and that's a shame. But at the same time , I think it would be wrong to make the choice for someone or force them into it. |
