I don't care one way or the other but I do hope it gets legalized for one simple reason: to show these people it ain't shootin' fish in a barrel.

Too many hunters owe their success to feeding and even baiting.

I'd like to bring them down to hunt the Hatchie Bottoms with me and the Chaney Lake bunch and let them see what hunting IS all about.

IMO.........Hunting is using your skill and knowledge to place yourself in a animal's natural daily patterns and successfully harvest that animal.....

Drawing deer to you and holding them there is not hunting.....IMO.

With that being said, feeders don't necessarily draw deer to you like you may think. Only the deer using your area anyway will benefit. Unless food is so scarce that deer have to travel long distances to survive, they won't travel too far just to visit a feeder, IMO.

Hunting the Hatchie Bottoms (the deep Bottoms and not the agricultural fields along the edges)is a pleasure and a true hunting experience...IMO.

I feel sad that not everyone can experience it......I feel that most here might quit deer hunting if they had to hunt like we do on Chaney Lake simply because so many here want baiting to be legal..........

Not a bash, but more an opinion based on all the pro-baiters on here....

On another note....How many will be supplemental feeding after the season is over?

To me, its comparable to you telling me that I can't watch soccer on tv in my home, because you don't like it. AS LONG AS THE PUBLIC GOOD IS NOT HARMED, I should be able to do whatever I please on my own property. The baiting is not really the point. Its "you", figuratively, minding my business. In my setup, I could bait till hell freezes over, and no one would ever know the difference, but believe it or not, I have always operated within the framework of the law. Even when, IMO, the law is stupid.
