But this set up a hide and bait method is used by lots of professionals. Set up a deer carcus to get eagles to feed. That is the only way in the UK at least.

I'm Ok with people using a hide to get a photo of a bird or other animal feeding the natural way. If everyone starts copying the "professionals" the animals could get used to being fed at a certain spot and upset their natural feeding habits, etc. It hasn't been proven that it has or would but if there's a 'question' that it could then it comes down to ethics. Do a bunch of professionals and wannabes have the right to disrupt and change nature for the sake of winning a photo contest? Personally, I think that's wrong and cheap, professionals or not. They're just thinking of themselves and the prize.

Yes I agree. I have heard some very unpleasant stories about pay per view hides for example.
