Yeah I was just bored in class and was curious as to the responses I'd get.

I'm not knocking it at all or saying its unethical. I never really thought about the acorns/food plot being similar which is a good point.

I really don't give a rats a** about what anyone else thinks about the way I hunt. Over the years I have done a lot of guiding hunters. I have found that a lot do a lot of talking about how good they are. I have also found that most that do the talking are not near as good as they think they are. I have taken out hunters that said hunting out of a blind was not really hunting. I have walked them rocking canyons, spot and stalking, sat and glassed until the next day they either wanted to sit in a blind or ride in the truck.Their idea of hunting changed a lot when they did not see an animal the first few hours. I had one hunter that wanted a free range axis buck with a bow. He said that shooting one with a gun was really not hunting. I took him to a place where there were quite a few good axis. I let him out and showed him a windmill on top of a rise that you could see from the entire ranch. I would meet him there at noon. At noon he had see bucks but could not get a shot. I was to meet him again in the evening before dark. I got there early and he showed up as well. He asked if he could borrow my rifle to shoot an axis. I said sure and had seen a good one driving in. Took him back to where I had seen it and he shot it out of the truck. Amazing how some people talk out of both sides of their mouths. They tell others that they should have waited another year to take that deer or they should not have taken it out of a blind or the only real hunting is with a bow. A lot of times what they say and what they do are two completely different things.

There is only one way of real hunting and I do this so I am the only true hunter on this forum…

The only ETHICAL way of hunting deer is to get on a horse and chase one down like a calf and then wrestle it to the ground and tie rope around its feet.

AND I go in the middle of the day because that’s when all the biggest mature bucks are out feeding

Thank you

No, if you were a real hunter you chase him down on foot.

gonna get a lot of flack for this I'm guessing but I don't get feeder hunting. Especially when people who are anti high fence hunt over a feeder. Is it still hunting when you can nap until you hear the dinner bell spin to wake you up as the deer walk in to the picnic.

Not saying I don't agree with supplemental feeding but just don't find it very sporting to sit in front of a feeder and "hunt" over it.

I don't know why some people feel that it's necessary to apologize for being the most intelligent animal on the planet. Cheetahs don't apologize for being the fastest. Bears don't apologize for having and using their teeth and claws. Lions don't apologize for hunting in large groups, neither do wolves.

Why should I feel bad that I have figured out how to use complex tools, opposing thumbs and the knowledge that deer will come to corn. God gave us the most advanced brain and intelligence in the animal kingdom. He did not give us great speed or a fur coat to protect us from the cold and wet. We all use our God given talents to our advantage.

Hunting over bait is not cheating.

It was a question admittedly to stir the pot
