Exactly, everybody uses things that give them an unfair advantage over the deer. It's simply a matter of degree. I just laugh at people who drive a four wheel drive to where they hunt; back a 4 wheeler off of it to get them further into the woods; put on camo overalls; spray down with scent killer spray; go climb a tree with a climbing stand after setting out 4 doe in heat bombs; sit there 30 feet off the ground scanning for deer with a 500 dollar pair of binoculars; shoot a deer 300 yards away with a 300 win mag topped with a 800 dollar scope; then come home and mock people that would legalize hunting near a corn feeder as a "cheater". LOL! Have mercy.

Being able to use a gun or a compound bow is a far bigger cheat than using a corn feeder. How many deer could you kill at a corn feeder with just a hand thrown sharp stick? And how many deer would you kill each year if you had to walk from where you live to your hunting club?

Hunt how you want. But if I were using some or all of the things mentioned above I'd back off belittling someone who would sit over a green patch or corn (if legalized) as cheating or not really hunting. You might just come off looking like a major hypocrite.


The best index to a person’s character is (a) how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can’t fight back.
