I to am against automatic feeders with timers on them.But I do know many properties that have permanent stands on them to. Would you hunt a stand on private property with a timed feeder on it if it wasn't caged? I didn't know they had diffrent class deer for the amount of money you wanted to spend and pick it out of a book. My thoughts if I had a 1500+ acre ranch It would have food plots on it with miracle grow clover and grasses along with mineral blocks to build bigger antlers. Nothing would be on a timer as when fishing below a dam when it opens.Fish go into a feeding frenzy.These deer on my ranch would be as natural to roam and grow with out a time delayed feeder. Would hunting over a clover or pea plot on private opened propertybe the same as hunting over one on a caged hunt?
Is there any exception that anyone who is against caged hunts to actually hunt in one if you was offered for free to do so as if I had one set up the way I said above. How many would jump on the oppertunity to do so?
I for one would of kept that one alive as dd said for atleastone more year to spread his genes around for a while anyway.I would cut the middle man though and let him do the wild does his self in the wild.Then you wouldn't know what to excpect when hunting the caged canned area.And I wouldn't charge anyone to hunt on my caged lands and only my closest friends and family would be able to hunt it. Does this seem like a caged hunt any anti canned hunters would condone or wouldn't mind to try? One more thing. About how many deer could be supported on an 1500 acre plot?Is it one deer per acre?
