What we would do should have no bearing on your decision to bait or not. The answer is in your heart - follow it.
Not at all. Ive never been one to stir the pot. I didnt even bring baiting into the equation until this page.
You may not have brought baiting into the equation by name until this page but isn't that what this thread was about all along? Curious.
At what point? I guess when your way isn't killing bucks then it's time to change. If it aint broke don't try to fix it. If it is broke fix it IMO.
This late in the season the deer movement is low, the deer are still on edge from gun season, and there are not a lot of food sources. If you think baiting will swing the odds in your favor, go for it. It's still not a slam dunk. You still have to see them during day light hours, you will have to contend with multiple eyes, ears, and noses that are all extremely wary this time of year, there is very little cover to camoflage you or your movement, and many times mature bucks still avoid bait this time of year. Sounds like a challenge to me.
