The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - to bait, or not to bait? Special hunt question

I did bait, with corn and Caro Syrup. The spike buck I took was nibbling at it when I shot him.

Moral of the story: there ain't no such thing as a free lunch....

However, a side note: Texas Parks and Wildlife DID pre-bait for this hunt, for a month. Those guys did a great job of setting things up. I didn't want this thread to just hang out there in cyberspace without that point clarified, because the "no prebaiting" thing ended up not being an issue.
