Baiting also becomes a rich man's sport. If you can afford a 5 gallon bucket of Coates per week. Maybe the guy beside you can afford 5 tonnes every 3rd day. Now the guy with the deeper pocket will have more opportunities. Then guys will complain how that's not fair.
Kinda like the ministers tag threads... or what happens when someone else shoots a deer of your bait ??? Will it be flying fists or judicial compensation ? What about the deer that become habituated to the free food, and depend on it. What happens when the food stops and the winter turns ugly on the young deer that don't know better.

Baiting is just more headaches and problems for hunters , co's and wildlife.
