Thanks for all the comments and advice. I'm really not too worried about what they think, just interested in seeing if I was a member of the minority in my thinking. In any case, I live in Minnesota so feeders aren't legal. Right now, I have a salt and an apple block out there which get used pretty good. I will have to remove the apple block during hunting season. I might try to plant some forage out there but not much light get in. I'd probably have to cut a small clearing.

Yeah, I have kept pretty quiet about it. I just mentioned it to some friends of friends while we were duck hunting this fall who didn't like the idea but luckily, they don't really know where my land is.

On another note, our new neighbor showed me pictures of big bucks he's taken the last three years on his land. He has gun hunted there for as long as he's lived there. In my part of Minnesota, we have a four gun day season. I know he'd be out on his land and fairly close to me so I've decided (unbeknownst to him) that a peaceful compromise would be for me to try bowhunting. Plus I'd get an early jump on him : ) and have a 3 1/2 month season instead. I'm pretty excited to try it.

Also, the new neighbor said that someone was down on our land or near it last year as he heard shooting close by so I'll have to post during gun season to be sure.
