Guys, I understand that hunting over feeders is legal and traditional in many parts of the country. I really don't have a problem with it and don't want to imply that I do. In Vermont where I live, they recently outlawed the practice of any baiting. They have done the same in neighboring New York too. Their reasoning is to not concentrate the deer to eliminate some chance of CWD or other respiratory diseases made worse by high numbers of deer in a feeding situation. I like to track and realize that what works well here might not work where you are. I am open to most types of hunting with the exception of high fenced hunting. My feeling on adding supplemental feed is that the deer are wild creatures and shouldn't need additional nutrition. Here in the north the deer's metabolism slows down in the winter months and their stomachs can't digest high protein feed. Their customary diet consists of twigs, budsand cedar which is usually found in their yarding areas. According to biologists that deer in the north can actually starve to death with full stomachs of supplemental high protein indigestible food so theydidn't recommend feeding them in the winter even before the ban on baiting. I know that lots of people set up feeders to watch the deer in addition to hunting them. No problem here and if you are a baiter and it is legal then have a good time. I think the one important thing is that you are hunting which is good.
