RE: To expound.......Baiting.....
I love using my feeder for everything, from scouting, to trail cam opps. to hunting. Myself and my friends have taken numerous deer within 50 yards of that feeder this year. Only 1 was actually eating, the others were just passing through the area and never even gave interest to the feeder. Typically, the feeder goes off at the same time they come in range and scares them away, it's actually cost me more shots because of that.
Putting my trail cam on it is the coolest, though. I have gotten some interesting pics of numerous animals and some big bucks that I woud have never thought existed here. I even have a couple of spikes fighting.
However in NC, it is illegal to bait turkey's, but I never have time to hunt them when there time rolls around anyway.
I am tired of people I come across getting superiority complexes about the feeder thing. Everyone I personally know that hunts, has a feeder and base their stand placement upon how the deer travel around that feeder, yet they say "they are not using it like that!"
