I have to agree with most of what you said. I personally bow hunt, but have decided to give a muzzleloader a try this year. In my opinion, it is hard to lump feeding/minerals into the same category as high fence hunting, neither of which I have a problem with, if done correctly. I do have a problem with "pen" hunting though. I too believe that line has been crossed and don't think it will ever return to what it once was. Times have changed and I am sure will continue to change and evolve in the future.
Good post. Hopefully it will stay civil.
