Default RE: Fair chase.......

Taz, as you have posed your question, I would tend to call it training. As we all know, baiting is legal in some states to varying degrees, and as a person who feeds deer, I can testify that the deer don't always cooperate. Also, the size of the property comes into play, as well as the availability of other food sources. (acorns, etc.) Also, irregardless of where you put the towers, you can't be everywhere at once. Maybe your method of "spreading feed" might be considered by many people to be more sporting than concentrating it 50 yards in front of a blind. As a sidebar issue, I've often wondered what is the big difference between me putting out corn or planting food plots full of clover, oats, corn, or other attractants? Fair chase is fair chase, but feeding deer (IMO) doesn't mean that you're tagging out every year. Good topic, I'm interested to see what the reponses will be.
