Whats the rules on baiting?

[bobcat]

I dont like the idea of hunting fenced land but who am I to say its wrong.  Even on fenced land, hunters employ the same tactics that public hunters use. 

By fenced land do you mean "high-fenced?"  As in, where the animals inside the fence can't get out? Now that I am adamantly against. That is not hunting and the deer are nothing but livestock, in my opinion.

Depends on how big the area is. Most whitetail deer operate within an area smaller than about 3 square miles. Theres plenty of those huge high fence areas in say TX that are so big I say they wouldnt ever move any farther even if ya dropped them off in the Entiat.

Ill hunt inside those big 500+ acre fences

Not sure i want anybody telling how i can and can't hunt, regardless if they agree with it or not.

My ethics and morals are different than yours. And by yours i mean whoever is reading this. I know we think different.
We live on near 30 acres. We have like 10 apple trees, 2.5 acres are cleared, the rest is timberland. We have BT deer, and we have a few big bucks. The only thing i have ever pointed at these deer are my bino's. They are like pets. They will not let you touch them, but i can sneek right up to about 15 yards from them. I will nto shoot them, i could hunt them in there environment if i walk back into the woods, but i let them be. I drive to they area i hunt because i would rather hunt than just shoot.
I shoot a deer every couple of years, but i could every year if i needed it that bad.

Hunting to me is more than shooting a deer or filling a tag.

If you want to bait, do it, if not don't. But please do not try to push your ethics or morals on to me.

I concur with hates 100%.

I wonder, if you get way the hell back in the woods...too deer that dont know man. Do they haul ass for us getting within 500 meters or do they just give us a little room but overall ignore us? Ive been in some areas where the deer dont seem to know people...and arent really afraid...theres no hunting allowed.

Im just wondering if those deer act "more natural" than those that I see in Cap For where they have learned to avoid us...or are the ones Ive seen accustomed to people and thats why they dont haul butt?

I know it sounds like those on hunts property are kinda trained to be used to people.

but what about ...say remote canada? do they naturally fear us as predators or generally just keep a cautious 40 yards??

I really don't see anyone attacking anyone on here about their hunting styles.  Just because I disagree with or don't like or don't call it hunting by personal choice, doesn't mean I am trying to force something down anyones throat.  Whatever floats your boat.  The more boys that like road hunting the better as far as I am concerned.  The more boys up a tree over a foodplot, the fewer bothering me where I am at.   The only type of hunting that will recieve a personal attack from me are high fenced hunts and canned hunts.  I think these are bogus...I don't lke them.....I think they are wrong for MANY reasons and should not be called hunting.  I'm glad the record books don't accept them and I think they are contaminating our stock.

Animal behavior.(in remote Canada)..........YOU CAN NOT classify any animal at any given time whether they will be afraid of you or treat you differently. This is in reference to high mountian animals versus those around a farm.   I would go into this and expalin why, but I'd rather not.  It depends on things as simple as the weather, does the animal feel threatened, how you walk or present yourself, has there been a cougar within a 5 mile radius in the last week, all sorts of factors.

And that's a fact, with wild or tame animals.
