[size 2] I do not hunt. But my friends do. All over the US. [/size]
[size 2] Baiting? I would think a real hunter, someone who can track a deer, or moose or bear or whatever would not need to bait anything.[/size]
[size 2] My one friend bow hunts and rifle hunts. I sent him a copy of that story and he laughed his butt off.[/size]
[size 2] His Dad trained him on scent control and tracking techniques and he has never been skunked on a trip.[/size]
[size 2] His also does not like the idea of those tree stands when people just sit there and wait for a deer to pass by and shoot it. Just doesn't seem to sporting.[/size]
[size 2] Longest trip he told me about was a couple days up in Northern Calif for bear I believe. He was after bear and saw everthing except that until last day.[/size]
[size 2] Then he nailed a nice big bear. Good meat too.[/size]
[size 2] Personally I am glad they are banning the baiting. Hunters should be able to find an animal by tracks, water sources and food sources. And maybe past experience in that area.[/size]
[size 2] Just my opinion[
