text: To each their own. It is a lot of work to keep a bait site going, to be there at the right time, to judge an animal as harvestable or not. It is somewhat risky walking in on a predator as well. Whether to bait or spot/stalk is comparable to many other choices made in harvesting animals such as the ethics of using decoys v pass shooting, fly fishing v lures or bait, whether snagging is ethical or not, bow v rifle, etc. I'll leave the ethics up to the boards of fish and game and try not to be snob toward people who choose differently than I. And of course there are more and more people coming into Alaska who know nothing about game and fish harvesting and feel that doing so is wrong. Those people I just ignore
