I do hunt over soybeans and peanuts and corn and wheat...Frankly, I hunt much more with a bow and a flintlock rifle that I made in the 80s than I do with a centerfire...In years past, I killed 10-20 deer a year to get the doe population in check...Fortunately, my nieces and nephews are now of the age that they can take care of the numbers we need to kill and I can concentrate on enjoying the experience...

i could care less what other hunters do..its none of my affair how yall hunt and it shouldnt be anyones elses either..ill use what ever is leagle to get meat in my freazer..like my pappy used to say all the time horns are horns you cant eat em..we dont have monster bucks in vermont and never will,,why do you supose all those big deer live out west,,,hhhhmmm corn and other farms,,,get real,,you wont use bait but youll set in a corn field,,,what differance is there in setting in the oaks,,,because you know the acorns are dropping,,and the deer will be feeding heavy,,,or putting out food because you know deer like it..busting a cap on him with his head in his dinner plate is the same any way you look at it,,,it dont bother me one bit,,at least he would have had a few good last meals...lol smoke em

hunter = food
sportsman= challenge
I am prolly guilty of both, everytime I pick up my bow I become a sportsman, when I want to eat I pick up my rifle and become a hunter.
Most of the time I am trying to put meat in the freezer and feel no need to give an animal a chance, its not a game for me, I kill chit, thats what I do.

I think the poll result so far speaks for itself. If you want to hunt over corn or a feeder, then go for it, as long as it's legal. I occasionally do it when bow hunting. Great way to get a couple 1 1/2 yr. old does for the freezer.
