Ethically it's sounder to bait with whatever it's eating anyway (rotten fish or crab) and it'll look better in the shot!

I have an opportunity to photography an eagle near where I live. It has lived in this area for some time and is well known to the locals. The only business in the area (Ollala, Wa.) is a store/gas station. The owner has offered to let me set up a blind in an unused part of the property that will allow a very close camera position to the beach area. He said they have baited the eagle in the past by laying out a large piece of fat and the eagle will come in and snatch it up. He has offered to allow me to photograph the bird this way. What is the consensus of the group about this behavior or technique for the purpose of getting the shot? Take care, Gregory david Stempel FIREFRAMEi m a g i n g
