re: Why is baiting most game illegal except for deer?

Baiting certainly doesn't hurt the odds of killing a deer, but you can always tell people who have never done it by how they talk about it. It's not uncommon for me to check a cam card and have thousands of night time pics over corn for every one in daylight. I have just as many stands set up to cover crossings, and large lanes where I can see with no feeder on them as I do simple plots with a feeder, and I make the decision on which to hunt based on wind and time of year. I see more young deer on the feeder stands, but I kill more deer on the crossings (and no they aren't cutting off the feeder, just natural features).
