As for baiting - it also gives the shooters/bowmen a chance to have a good look at the animals before they select one to kill. If it is done the way it is done in most European countries, there will be people present who are skilled in recognizing weak and sick animals, who will then be selected. Not all deer who present at a bait will be killed - just those who are weak, very old or unhealthy. It's not a free-for-all.
