Yes this, it's your choice if you want to hunt from the trees go for it.
And once again hunters attacking hunters for hunting within the laws set out. What's ethical to one may not to some else, so what who cares it's your choice. Baiting bears is like shooting fish in a barrel, using dogs is unfair bla bla bla. To bad you attackers wouldn't focus your efforts on the groups out there trying to take away your very own hunting rights instead attacking hunters just like yourselves....

exactly how I feel about it. People have to stop hatting on lawful hunting.

Once again gentlemen, thank you for your feedback. I will continue to hunt the good old fashion way, turkey on the ground. Cheers...

I assume you don't bait deer or bear? Right?

We bait deer by the wheelbarrow .
All we end up with is corn fed Bluejays and happy coons.
They ignore carrots and salt licks.
Guess there is better grub on the neighbours property

I do bait deer early for photo ops.
Have yet to take a deer over bait.
I hunt traffic lanes. Anyone that baits deer knows the hardly show up but for a few seconds as they browse by for a picture.
Everyones ethics are different. I didnt attack him or say he shouldn't do it.....
Would you shoot at the bird in the tree?
I ground hunt no decoys in the bush. Run and gun them. Hardly ever set foot in the Bush before sun up. Its a challange for sure. To me thats what its all about.
Again im not attacking anyone for what they legally do. Just my point of view.

By saying it is not ethical you are saying what he should not do.

Ethics are personal, laws define legality.

Yes ethics are personal. I don't agree with it correct as i stated. Its my choice. I am not forcing MY view on anyone. Dont know how you could assume that I said he should not legally do anything his ethics allow him to.

I guess some or most of us can't be the perfect model hunter just like you. Please excuse some of us as we will never be as good as you.
