I usually try to have at least one feeder going most of the year, except during turkey season. I like to give the critters a little extra to eat during the Winter. I bow hunt some on a feeder, but not always. I never gun hunt a feeder. By that time, the deer are keying on acorns anyway and rarely come to a feeder during daylight hours, if then. I don't get why it is so immoral to some of you to hunt a feeder or corn scattered on the ground. As long as it is legal, it shouldn't concern you. How do we know the Indians didn't use corn as bait?
