RE: Who thinks hunting over feeders or bait is wrong?
You are basically saying that if someone doesn't hunt the same way you do, they are a poacher.
I do not use any calls while deer hunting.I do not think it is right to trick the animal like that. I do not care if anyone else uses them though.Heck, I may even try using them later in life. Since you hunt a different way then I do, you are a poacher.
Once you start to mature, you will learn to accept other peoples' ways of doing things. I do not think that baiting an animal is right, but I do not argue with others about it. I know in a few years I will be mature enough to understand why people do what they do.

What is next?Are you going to call someone a poacher if they use calls,rattling antlers or if they sit in a treestand or a blind,or if they use dogs?I hunt the way that I choose and if I don't like someones method,I don't use it.I don't however call anyone a poacher for hunting legally.

No im not gona call someone a poacher when they use calls and rattlin antlers and that stuff. Just when they use bait, feeders, and do canned hunts.

Everyone, let's not give him anymore posts! It's obvious he is a kid and feeds off of stirring the hunting population. He hasprobebly never hunted and is associated with aanti hunting organization.

RE: Who thinks hunting over feeders or bait is wrong?
I'll be an idiot and throw my hat in the ring....
I'm not sure how someone using feeders is equal to canned hunts...my way of thinking a canned hunt is basically a 'pet' herd being 'hunted' and what not...
now I'm in Texas...feeders are legal. Food plots are too, but when the rain gets a bit scarce here, well...watering a food plot is an endeavor at times...the land owner i lease from has 50 acres of wheat sown for when he puts a few head of cattle there for the winter. I've watched does pass right bye one feeder and meander up the trail for the wheat. I've passed shots the last three years I've hunted (i've only hunted 5) cause they looked young or small rack or what not, and then seen one I've watched on my lease at the processors locker, and the man who took it was 2 miles from my patch. I've sat days overlooking trails to feeders and not seen a deer at all, but the trail cams deer, just night pics. I can't hunt at night, as dictated by my state, so I don't do it. I was under the presumption that if i did, THEN i'd be a poacher.
I generally bow hunt the trails and so on, but leave the feeders up all year round and do have a blind overlooking a series of trails from a bluff, and you can see one feeder 135 yrs away. I guess this makes me a poacher..even though i buy my tags, pay to supplement the deers feed all year long, and do everything legally within MY state. The public land available near me to hunt, you can't bait. So it rolls both ways in the Great State of Texas.
I would not do a canned hunt...what I consider a canned hunt..doesn't seem sporting to me. the 162 acres i lease are low fenced..as are most of the land around me in this county. There is one high fenced operation that has deer and hogs..and people pay to do that. not my cup of tea, but hey..to each their own in this country. Might seem like rattling a deer in is 'baiting' or 'enticing', using a scent elimator or camo or fox urine could be construed as 'tricking' a deer, and wouldn't sex scents be 'baiting' a deer? Some of those I use (scent eliminators and camo) and some I don't (sex scents and rattling)
for me to start labeling and grouping because as I was raised, well that's like pointing a finger and labeling cause one is Republican or Democrat, stick hunter vs. compound hunter, in-line muzzleloader or traditional...I have that right, but I guess in mixed and public company I'd be a bit apprehensive about stepping on toes.
You have that right,and that's a great thing about being where we all are....that we can live and speak and hunt as we want within the rules...
Iam relativly new to the world of hunting...I follow my state's rules and pay my tags and would never hunt 'pet' animals, but then....to be classed a 'poacher' kinda sucks..but oh well....I guess that' smy right

Well i got kicked off my bowhunting team for callin a guy a poacher cause in his trial cam pics there was a feeder. I personally consider hunting over bait or a feeder is poachin, just like fenced hunts. Now mods/adm. this post was not a way to get back or anything so dont get your panties in a bunch i was just seein who else felt the same way i do.
