What is "fair chase"?
Naturally, one must obey the legalities. But if one is hunting for one's dinner, IMO anything goes so long as it's legal where you are. You're harvesting a resource, and why should you work any harder than you have to? (Fair enough, if you WANT to go out and stalk your dinner, that's fine too; be my guest.)
If you're trophy hunting, though? No. You should have to work for that one.
Then again, what's the difference between laying out tasty feeder bait and staking out a watering hole?
Disclosure: AFAIK I am not allowed to bait where I live. I am required to stalk.
