Feeding Deer
I was wondering how many hunters supplement their deer herd with corn either with a feeder or a pouring it on the ground. Obviously, some states do not allow feeding or baiting deer but in states where it is legal I would imagine the percentage is high.

I have 2 timed feeders that I use to help keep deer on my property, it may or may not work. I use them more to see what is there than to hunt them. I do hunt trails that lead to the feeder but the trails were there before the feeders were put up. In my opinion the feeders are no different than having corn planted all year long. Some will disagree that that is my opinion.

:rolleye001 1:. To each his own , where legal. I just can't help it though when this type of statement is made.People can not honestly believe that hunting timed feeding stations is the same as hunting a corn field, can they?

We planted a food plot this year.
The blind has a timed feeder looking out the front window and a 2 acre plot looking out the back window. So if I shoot a deer out the back window in the food plot, you tell me exactly how that is different than if a i shoot a deer out the front window at the feeder.
