These things are prevelant in bear baiting areas as well.
Legalized baiting does not automaticlly make hunters who do illegal or disrespectful things do the opposite - Saskatchewan and Ontario have their fair share of poachers, tresspassers, etc., as well.

You're right it doesn't stop people. However, if I can plant myself 75 yards back in the bush, odds of me being hit by a bullet from a road hunter is very slim. It's not about stopping poachers, it's about getting away from each other and being able to have your own chunk of area to hunt that has a less chance of being bothered than the fields that have become highways over the years.
