Well, they are the ones that create the laws we hunt by, I once again don't understand your argument
As for methods to legally kill deer..I'm good with the daylight until dark hunting hours. I like the season length as it is. I wish the State would implement a tagging system that works. I see nothing morally wrong with hunting a food plot, white oak tree or corn feeder. Killing deer is easy. Killing 5,6,7 year old bucks is darn near impossible.


Please point me to the current rule, regulation or law that says that you can not have a feeder out during hunting season. So, from your comments the GWs don't enforce the same laws? That is an interesting suggestion.

I am glad to see you have a line that you will not cross to kill a deer. One question though, what if your neighbor finds it perfectly moral to lure a deer into a trap with corn and walk up to the trap and shoot the deer and he wants that legalized? The outcome is the same, right? If legalized he would have used all of the legal means and methods and let's not forget that he would properly tag and report the kill, so that would be okay, right?

My line is drawn at the point where a supposedly more intelligent being starts the domestication process through continual feeding of a non-self replenishing resource for the simple purpose of killing the inferior species. Especially when the supposedly superior species has the supposedly superior capacity to gain the knowledge needed to best the lesser species on his terms.

Cuz Pat has a good idea that would clear it all up easily! However, I don't think it will get much attention because it is not what the people WANT. Dang, there is that word again.
