"I'm going by how I was raised and what I believe in". I think you just answered your own problem. If that is what you like as far as hunting, then great, go for it. Don't tell me or anybody else that if they don't hunt the way you do that they are poachers, you won't make many friends. Get a dictionary or talk to a game warden and find out the definition of poaching. I think you will find it is tresspassing or a way to cook an egg.

Man, some seriously idiotic posts on this thread! :( It is sad that so many of you just lke the drama! [:'(][>:]

If it is legal where you hunt, than do it! I can't believe some would actually call it "poaching" when in fact the folks hunting this way are following the letter of the LAW! What in the heck are you people thinkin' by making these claims??? Of course, generally the blowhard that is snapping off all these cracks has NO IDEA what he's talking about becuase he has never tried tohunt deer with one of the mentioned hunting methods. I'll promise you in an area where these practices has been done for many, many years.... the deer are incredibly difficult to bag. Just don't think that it's a dinner bell and every monster buck in the country come tripping over themselves to get at some simple corn feeder. I for one respect many folks that go above and beyond to provide supplemental feeding programs and other extreme management methods.... these folks are generall a LOT more invloved and serious about the sport and it's animals.

Please give it a rest! [:o]

ADD- Please don't reply back to that. Just take it like a man and walk on.

TIMBER- No offense, b/c I agree with just about everything that you have written 100%, but come on man. Comparing shooting terriorist to deer. Please. You just opened up a major argument that is probably going to get a lot of feelings hurt. Just delet it man, you asked ADD his age. Well, be the bigger man and just do as I told him and walk away.

Hunting is a personal experience filled with personal choices taking place in many areas with varying traditions and rules. The concept of "fair chase" is a noble one and something that is meant to be a unifying, governing force. The concept was not created as a test to divide ethical hunters.

One of the reasons why our wildlife and habitat conservation system works is because individual states regulate what goes on within that state. Can you imagine the train wreck that would occur if the same rules applied for all states regardless of traditions, the diverse species of game, and various habitats found in different regions? Deer hunting with a crossbows is legal in Ohio, but not in some other states. Baiting deer is legal in some states, yet frowned upon by hunters in other states. You can run bear and cougar with hounds in some western states, but only spot and stalk hunt in others. Steel shot, lead shot, plugged shotguns, expandable broadheads, inline muzzleloaders - the list goes on and on. The bottom line - we are too small of a group not to support each other. If you hunt, you belong to a fraternity. If a hunting method is legal in another state, but not in your state, crying foul won't help the bigger picture. If a way of hunting is under attack in another state, your way is under attack, even if you do not agree with or practice this method.
