Fair Chase vs High Fence Hunting Debate?
#281
It's something man puts down to attract game. Like a barrel full of donuts under a tree stand to hunt bears. Like a field of crops that is never harvested by a farmer, but put there to bring in game that wouldn't be there without the food plot, or certainly wouldn't have the numbers that the food plot brings in.
It's not hard to understand.
If that's how someone chooses to hunt. Be my guest. Ask me what I think of it, and i'll tell you. That's what this thread is about. Nobody is telling anybody how to hunt, but some sure get touchy about the way they hunt if everybody doesn't agree with it.

Huckleberry, going off topic here but I dont think what Hitler thought of Jews can be categorized as "misperceptions".
I also dont think you understand my analogy about the students, it's the means im trying to get at here, and both didnt not use the same means to get in. One used wealth and money, while another used the actual process.
Good point on the hunting by a waterhole in Wyomng, or the baiting that other people mentioned. Is it truly hunting? Guess it's just what each person considers as hunting. Im sure some people wouldnt consider tree stands and baiting as hunting since all you do is sit there all day until an animal comes along. To each his own.
As a side note, Native Americans used to run 100's of Bison off cliffs and they considered it hunting, though in their case it was that or starvation.

I was using you post figuratively. So for the record you did not tell me - You provided your opinion like you said. But others, with nil experience, WERE passionately advocating what someone else should and shouldn't do. They were my audience.
PS: Really like those pics!

Yep, 700 is from Texas where corn spin feeders are prolific and he doesn't call that baiting, but your whole mountain is, LOL! I hunted Texas for over 20 years and that's the only place I have ever hunted using "bait". Down there the country is very thick and unforgiving with just about everything having stickers on them. It's very tough if you don't have feeders to pull deer and hogs out of the brush as well as sit up in the air in order to see any distance. Most people don't think anything negative about doing that down there, whereas MuleyHunter wouldn't care to just sit and wait in ambush. I hunt Michigan where I live, as well as out in Wyoming, and the two styles for success are so different it's unreal, but they are both hunting.
