I surprised that the "hunter" wasn't more aware of his surroundings... Could those earmuffs have almost been his downfall? :dontknow:

[snics]

That's a lot off bacon
:bbq::bbq::bbq:

[Bob Denman]

:agree: And too much; is just enough! :thumbup:

[bruiser]

I hunted these guys in Arizona and New Mexico. Javalina. Nasty little suckers. They could do some damage to you.

Caned hunt...guy was at a shooting station. Pigs were being pushed and giudes know where there going to run. That pig had no clue that guy was there untill he got close. There eyesight is poor. Earmuff and a #25 sign on the tree in front of him and the way he was at the ready makes it easy to spot a canned hunt.

[Bob Denman]

Good catch!! :2thumbs:
I was wondering about that number sign... :opps:

[grumpybob]

There is only 1 way to hunt a wild pig. With a knife. That gives them a chance.

There is only 1 way to hunt a wild pig. With a knife. That gives them a chance.

The only way I would hunt a wild pig with a knife is if it's already in the frying pan:roflblack:

There ARE places where they do that... :shocked:
I've also seen hunters go after bear with spears! :bowdown:

I am not a fan of canned hunts. I don't even like bating.

I agree with you on the canned hunts. Baiting where leagle is no different than hunting under a apple tree. I have put many, many hrs in a bear stand in Maine. Its not like you toss out some donuts and pick your critter.

[Bob Denman]

Is baiting "legal"?
How about "ethical"?
Would you do it?

These are quesitons that you may have to wrestle with, at some point in a lifetime spent outdoors in pursuit of game animals... :thumbup:
If the game laws allow for baiting in your State; question one is already out of the way.
If they don't... that pretty well gets rid of ALL of the questions! :D
Is it "ethical"?
What does your conscience tell you?
"Ethics", are the guy who stares back at you from the mirror. Only you can answer to him, and only he can tell you whether your decisions have been right or wrong...
I'll bait when it's legal...

No question, if it isn't legal, its wrong. Each person has to decide if its something they want to do.

For me I guess it depends on what im hunting. I cant see hunting turkeys over bait when the challange is to call them in. I guess some could say the same about deer.

[Bob Denman]

Would you use scent attractants?
They're legal here in New York...
Baiting isn't...
Is there an moral difference, between luring them by their noses, or by their appetites?
Ethics is Advanced Sportsmanship! :2thumbs:

[bruiser]

I'm not against bating. I just wouldn't do it. In NC it's illegal to bait game birds and bear. The only place you can't bait deer is game lands. Baiting with processed foods is illegal anywhere in the state.

[Bob Denman]

So you can use scent attractents...
Would you?

[mowin]

I have uesed sent attractions w little success. I do use a sent loc suit and sprays with very good results.

[Bob Denman]

Would you set up a hunting blind in an apple orchard? :dontknow:
And is that any different, than throwing a pailful of Macintoshes under a pine tree? :shocked:

Fun; isn't it? nojoke

[bruiser]

I've never used scent attractant. Never had to. My wife says I have enough scent.:roflblack:

[Bob Denman]

You too? :shocked:
You know what I've found works pretty well as a cover scent?
Use your boot to scuff up some dirt under a pine tree, and then break-off a couple of small branches... :thumbup:

[mowin]

Ground blinds are great, I like bow hunting out of em. Pine makes a great cover sent. But isnt that cheating?:popcorn:

[Bob Denman]

Not to me... :D
But then; I normally set my treestands up at about the 25 or 30 foot mark...
ALMOST out of range! :roflblack:

[mowin]

Did ya ever notice, the higher you go the bigger you want the tree stand to be.....

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: I've got to admit, that I've wished for "more tree", on several occassions... :yikes:
That's why I stopped going up beyond thrity feet; I get dizzy from the thin air up there! :roflblack:

[mowin]

30':yikes:... better be a big tree and a big stand. At that altitude you could just drop the arrow on 'em. Im comfy around 18'

I DO keep a HUGE coffee thermos right nearby at all times... :D

The last two deer I've taken, were only seven, and nine yards out from my stand... I was further away from the ground, than they were from me! :yikes:
