That's exactly right. Call it a baiting bill and drop the BS. No distance or sight restrictions. Just make baiting legal. Someone said, "it would change the way we hunt all together" or something like that. That's right too. Would be more like hunting in KY, Texas, Illinois, Iowa, (where they kill those big bucks) and any place else that might allow baiting.


Can you bait in Illinois and Iowa?
