We use feeders here in Florida because the soil is so crappy. It's hard to get a food plot growing enough to really benefit the wildlife. I grew up in Georgia and we couldn't bait there. We also had nice, lush food plots for the deer. We have to feed in this part of Florida if we want to see anything worth shooting. We don't use it as a means to draw in shooter bucks, but more for the health of our deer herd. Otherwise, I'd be totally against it.
