I do consider myself very lucky being from out west. And Big, you seem to be lucky as well.

As for being black and white, I don't think so. Food plots are far more in depth then a "Feeder". They take some elbow grease and a little luck to really produce. Not to mention, you can't control where the deer feed. I think they are great.
However, hunting over a food container, where you can if opportunity presents itself,harvest a "easy controlled" animal is not okay. And in no way the same as a food plot.
AndI imagine the only people upset by the reality of hunting trained or controlled deer, would be someone who actually does it.
I guess I have to believe there are a majority of sportsmen outthere that would not harvest animals this way. Man I hope so atleast.
