Some believe it is wrong to hunt over bait. Is a northern hunter sitting on a cornfield or orchard any more ethical than a southern hunter watching a protein feeder in the middle of a field. In the part of Texas where I am from supplemental feeding is all there is for deer and many will not survive without it. What about hunting a fake or natural scrape, water holes, salt licks, bedding areas or food plots. If it is legal and approved by your State I say have at. It is more important that we hang together than lose our sport altogether. High fence, low fence or no fence. If the animal has a sporting chance and the acreage is big enough lets go hunting. There are lots of high fence places here in Texas where some of the bucks are only seen on gamecams yet I hear people condem high fences everyday. If it is a pen then for sure it is not hunting but otherwise I do not care one way or the other just so it is fair and sporting. It is supposed to be hunting not shooting.Wild Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616707944931436546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999508328036467805.post-47088065523816381252009-04-01T07:50:00.000-04:002009-04-01T07:50:00.000-04:00Those sly foxes!

In any segment of society there will always be the liars and cheats. how we deal with them will determine how hunter's will be judged as a whole. as for native's statement, I think it could only be considered entrapment if the officers had provided the bait.
