i've hunted over a feeder one time in my life (unknowingly). i had an invite to hunt with a friend on his lease a few years back. he did not tell me he had feeders set up. anyway i walked to the "condo" stand he said to go to before daylight. i sat there, watched the sun come up, watched armadillo's root around in the leaves. about 9:30 a.m. i heard a loud noise about 35 yards in front of, scared the heck outta me....i almost jumped outta the stand....lol.

i looked through the trees and saw what was making the noise, a timed feeder. anyway, the feeder had not even shut off yet when i heard ALL kinds of noise coming from behind me. it was deer, deer everywhere. the deer heard the feeder kick on and came running to it. i had never seen anything like that. there was about 15 deer under the feeder eating, 13 does and 2 small bucks. i had doe permits BUT it just didn't feel right. it didn't even feel like hunt'n.

if anyone on here wants to use feeders, fine with me. i am only stating my opinion that using feeders are an unfair advantage.
