I really don't understand why politicians should be the ones deciding one way or the other. Do they really even have a clue what's good or bad for wildlife? Unfortunately our system is set up in a way that our hunting rights/privileges are in the politicians hands but fortunately their job is in our hands so if we want to make changes then we may need to change them (replace them) Like I just said - total delusional mania going on here. They are not just "politicians" - they are ELECTED LEADERS - and they are not supposed to bow down and approve every whim of man, especially small vocal minorities. And with respect to hunting they are supposed to protect and safeguard the sacred tradition, not dumb it down. I think we have enough dumbing down in this country already. Whole country is going into the shchitter and you have a bunch of grown men on here whining and crying and stomping their feet for corn baiting as if it is the end of the world issue of our time. Totally pathetic. It's about participation trophies that's all. The rest is justification for getting one.

Where is written in stone about what hunting has to be?? So what if people sit over a corn pile. It’s silly to call that out at this point. Have you seen how we all hunt these days??...... I have…..from the old man sitting in a rusty bus in his backyard……to millionaires hunting “the cabin stand”…….to shooting houses with coffee pots and gas burning stoves…..to high fences with feeders the size of cars…….to farmers getting out in the hayfield and propping on the hood of the truck……..and so on. It seems really naïve to take a purist stance against feeders when hunting as a whole is nowhere near that fantasy.
The vast majority of us are driving “buggies” and sitting in shooting houses watching greenfields. That’s ok though…..Hunting doesn’t always have to be a struggle. Why can’t it just be fun? I’ve hunted my arse off to kill deer in the past and I just no longer have the desire to. I have nothing to prove to anyone anymore...including myself. Maybe I just want to sit there and drink my coffee, stay warm, and listen to the peace and quiet. Is that not ok too?

Good post and I think you are spot on! There is A LOT of hypocrisy between hunters judging how another person hunts. Hunting is supposed to be fun and that is defined differently by everybody.

Solid post, CNC.
Native Americans used fire, herded buffalo over cliffs and did what they needed to do. But they're hailed as slinky purists we're supposed to aspire to be.
Fred Bear is touted as the end-all beat-all bowhunting god guru father of bowhunting. He used bait. Didn't hide it.
Cowboys used the .45-70 and .30-30 for hunting but today those aren't enough caliber!
Crossbows? Waaaaahhhh! The drama llamas come out in herds.
The entire purist "you're not a real hunter" stuff is just egotistical bullshittery at its finest, just like fly fishing snobs who think someone with a strike indicator is some kind of horrid gump who doesn't know how to properly drift a No. 20 along a seam.

That's where I am. I love to go and love to watch them just don't care much about killing them anymore. I spend a lot of time and money keeping them around and happy. Turkeys are another story. I guess deer just haven't done as much to piss me off

Hunt how you want. Quit trying to force your way on everyone else. Making feed legal doesn't force anything on you. Maybe this will actually free up the boots on the ground to do other enforcement, like night hunting.

Now he's goin' home this time to stay
Where the roots run deep on the family tree
And the tractor rolls through the fields of green

CNC, you probably just made way too much sense. I think you may have just dropped the mic on this thread!
