[QUOTE="Coldfinger, post: 2653547, member: 113278"] I’ve been on a baited bait hunt before and not ashamed of it at all. The geography in Northern Main only really lends itself to baiting or hounds. If there’s a way to stalk bears in evergreen thickets where you can’t see past 10 yards I couldn’t figure it out on stand. Was I successful absolutely!!!! Did I harvest a bear Negative but it was just worth the experience watching the wildlife I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. I hunt in areas where deer and bear drives are the norm. Do I participate noooo way. Do I judge them for pushing deer or bears into standers? Negative. To each their own. My avatar cat would have never been possible without the use of hounds in the small time window I had to hunt 1700 miles from home in totally unfamiliar territory. Does it mean I’m a bad hunter? Not really but to some maybe. The division I have come to notice among hunters in the last several years is the biggest threat to our tradition. I support any ethical sportsman/woman child weather they use sling shots, arrows, traps, muzzleloaders that don’t smoke thermal imaging or rifles that shoot farther than I can see!!!! Amen God Bless and Protect you sportsman and America!!! Without each other we will fall! [/QUOTE]
