[QUOTE="NPO_Aaron, post: 352853, member: 214"] I spoke to John on the phone a couple of nights ago about this exact thing and you're interpretation of his intention is just not correct. Saying that he just wants baiting for his show is just a cop out insult. The guy has the land and resources to plant food plots and attract dear in an "acceptable way", like most of us, he is concerned about how bans will effect, young, old and/or disabled hunters. Just because he has a platform and a business related to hunting, doesn't mean that he can't focus on a topic that helps other people. We share 2 main views on the topic. #1) Baiting bans take away a crucial tool for making hunting accessible to people with physical limitations. #2) The game and fish has yet to show a single piece of quantifiable data that bans decrease spread or that baiting increases it. If it's a case of "armchair biology" vs "real biologists" the argument should be easily squashed with data and science, but when you question the current reasoning for banning bait the answer is "we have to say we did something." That just isn't an acceptable answer for an issue that has widespread consequences to the hunting community. [/QUOTE]
