As long as your not doing it around where I hunt (which is illegal), I'll keep my comments to myself. Follow the law and it's your business.

I hunt the way I feel hunting it is suppose to be done...

Never said I did...Just offering another viewpoint...

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...

One thing, it sure is entertaining to see how baiters get all worked up.

Are we going to talk about "high fence" hunting? Is that cheating?

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.

Ain't that statement "the pot calling the kettle black"?

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.
