It's against the law the bait them here in California. We have to go out and "hunt" them.
Bow and arrow gets a little exciting too! It really pisses them off when you shoot them with an arrow. And what life they have left in them, they can do some damage. I made a perfect double lung shot on one, and what little time he had left, he was looking for me. Lucky there was an oak tree close by with low hanging limbs.
That's a solid point: bows make it personal, which is basically the same thing that you get from handgun hunting. I'm too sorry of an archer to bowhunt; despite all my practice, I just don't seem to get much better. I guess some have the talent, and some don't.
It's against the law to bait them in Redneckia, too...but that doesn't stop anyone.
