I don't see it as a sport or recreational I do it for the peace and quite and the meat if I kill a good un that's a plus. Also i could see baiting as to giving someone to look at a deer a little longer to make up their mind if that's the deer they want to shoot. Also may give a kid extra time to calm down before he shoots. May give someone who only has a few acres that enjoys hunting to kill a deer.If used properly it could be a tool for some people. To each is his own.
