The AZGFD just told me that " baiting" i.e. feeders/artificial water, was no longer going to be legal. I thought it was kinda stupid, but just sighed took, a few minutes to compose myself, and figured I'd just have to find a way to get it done anyway. I then phoned a couple of good buddies and was surprised at what I heard. Split basically down the middle, two were fairly upset like myself, and three were happy. They seemed to regard it as "cheating". I personally figured why not take advantage of any way you can to harvest. Are calls then "cheating?"
It seems if I was back in MO or northern AZ "spot and stalk" would be a little easier than in a place with sand dunes and the almost no vegetation. On the other hand the terrain offers a lot of agriculture and canals, so a permanent spot to set a pattern of feeding/watering would be great. My buddies did not want to hear this argument at all. In fact it was much more of a hot topic for them than for me. I was just wondering what people's opinions are. I am, as always, not under the illusion my opinion is the "right" one. Would love to hear some people weigh in.
I should also add, due to availability of draw process, this year I am hunting bow only. So a feeder would help a lot.
