Supplemental feeding of any type changes the carrying capacity of the land and pulls deer from your neighbors that have poor land or don't feed. Then folks see all these deer using their land and think they are overpopulated and need to kill some. If I am at the end of the season and I haven't killed a buck I will shoot a young doe for meat, not for population control. Two big clubs that I pass on the way to my place have a 4-point minimum. And for some people the season never closes. This doesn't help either IOM.
