In Texas or other states where baiting is legal, your sitting over a feeder thats timed and spreads a 15-20' circle of corn, and is usually the main food source deer prefer, so they get conditioned as to when that timer goes on and off, so a hunter could literally arrive at his stand 5-10 minutes before the feeder is set to go off.
Disagreement is fine! I understand where you are coming from. Have you ever hunted TX? I haven't but I won't diss their method of hunting because it's legal where they hunt and it's what they know.
I have hunted 20/30 yards from a single White Oak tree that was loaded with acorns and getting pounded by Whitetails. I'm sure many would consider that a bait, and I guess it is.
My point is we as Archers/Bowhunters need to be more united as unlikely as that seems. Why should I care how someone hunts in another state as long as it is legal in that state?
Even though I may not agree with a particular method I won't diss it. I always figured I need to walk in someone elses paths for a while before I try to judge them.
Just my opinion!!
