Could'nt tell you if its right or wrong, I guess its just based on how you areuse to hunting and what works for you. I have never had to hunt over a feeder (its illegal in NY). But i will tell you this my first 6 years of hunting i hadn't killed a thing, my seventh year and i finally put it all together and learn how to hunt my area's (scouting, scent control, figuring deer movements, ect.), and i drop a 10 pointer. I have gotten at least 1 buck every year since and sometimes 2-3. That is the only way of huntingI know now doing all my homework. That being said.

Last year in one of my not so easy to hunt spots partially in the Adirondacks (all forest, swamps, ect.)were i had yet to score a deer i decided to move closer to the hunting camp because i knew deer would be coming that way to the apple trees at the camp, so i would cut them off, well i did and finally scored a buck, and i wasnt happy like all my other kills, seemed to easy but legal. Its just what you are use to i guess

Sorry for the drawn out post
