Shouting matches and crude language have invaded a world of bucolic harmony: birding. But if you trap or catch a wild mouse to use as bait, you need a small game licence. If one photographer puts out a mouse, are other photographers who do not use bait supposed to stop shooting? I think they would be that way no matter what hobby they took up.”Some photographers are quite open about the practice. The National Audubon Society, on the other hand, opposes it and bans photos that use baiting from its contests.
