RE: Whats with deer feeders?
 

If they are not that good, then why do you guys them? You say they like acorns, then why not just plat trees than waste money on a feeder?

I don't hunt bears.

Why I have one is like I said, mainly for pictures and holding some game around my farm. I have so many oaks that in a good year when there is alot of acorns deer don't have to move far to get a full belly. I enjoy my feeder and camera as much as any rifle I have ever owned, why heck one of these days I might just leave the rifle at home and take a camera, I hope I don't turn into a PETA member LOL.

From that comment I take it you don't like looking at deer pictures especially at a feeder, I bet if you had a feeder and a camera with some nice bucks around that paid it a visit from time to time you would be just like the rest of us and have to use one-hour photo because you could'nt wait to see what you captured on film this time. Have you ever showed one of your buddies a picture of a deer that you have killed, its all the same.

IMO taking game is taking game as long as it is legal, whether you kill one with its head buried in a corn pile that you can drive to or the bottom of a mile long hollar that will take the biggest part of the day to get out, just because it is a little easier sometimes don't make it un-ethical.

There is a feeder where I work. Actually I like seeing the deer there so much, I wouldn't shoot them if I could.

Redman60, if you don't hunt bears...sorry for sounding dickish...but really what expertise do you have about wuss techniques, such as baiting? Just because you can't or haven't doesn't mean its not right or ethical. I would suggest the next time you attack someones techniques, you better have a better reason or back up than &quot;Just Because&quot;<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>[V!

RE: Whats with deer feeders?
 

Hunting deer around man-made feeders, with dogs, inside high-fenced-in game compounds, - or taking bears with jelly donuts - might be legal, but it just doesn't fit into my concept of &quot;fair chase&quot;. I prefer applying my woodcraft and hunting skills against the game on their turf without trying to reshape or alter their habit and feeding patterns to suit my advantage. Whenever we introduce artifical feeding devices or patterns or movement constraints upon the wildlife, we have effectively impeded their survival skills and made them into mobile targets on a shooting range.

And like the old CBS news commentator used to say, &quot;And that's one man's opinion.&quot;
