I killed six animals in the past two days. I lured them in with bait and then callously snuffed them out.
It gets worse. Not only did I not bother eating what I killed, but I also tossed their nasty carcasses into a garbage can.
Sounds awful, I know. But the subject is a timely one, given that the baiting of big game is becoming an issue in Utah. Deer hunters, for example, will put out a supply of apples to draw in the game and then kill whichever one they want.
Killing an animal while it’s enjoying a snack is not considered sporting to other hunters because it further tips the balance in favor of the hunter.
