[QUOTE="rlt7272, post: 1389954, member: 435"] Is this argument against baiting, as in setting up a corn feeder in September to draw deer in for a the season, or the planting of food plots and year round feeding? I guess I am not real edcuated in the use of feeders and plots. I do not have anything against either. I do however think there is a line between feeding the deer and raising them. If you are able to keep the same deer on a particular area year after year thru a plot or feeder and are able to watch them over mutiple seasons and then harvest the animal when you felt it reached maturity then to me that is boarderline raising. If that is the way you do it then more power to you. You guys put alot of time and money into your hunting and deserve to be successful. That is just not the way I do it. As for the oak tree example. Unless you planted that tree you really had no part in it being there, you are just using the existing enviroment to your advantage. Much different than someone who plowed and planted a specific area for a specific reason. Same goes for the dead cow and coyotes, you wouldn't shoot the cow just to draw the yotes in would you? As lastly for the fish example, if you were feeding a largemouth bass for years in a tank to get him to record weight, would you feel right about putting a hook in it and calling it a throphy?
