Am I the only one that doesn't hunt a feeder?

[PondPopper]

The smart ones don't use it at all....

I agree with this^^^^

[bk_tradguy88]

Nope, you're not the only one. No feeders used by me either.

Luckily their girlfriends do...

I put up feeders but only hunt them for pigs.

I find trails in the woods and find a good tree for a stand. More fun just picking a spot.

Each one of these deer is standing directly beneath a corn feeder. I have never cared what that buck's IQ on my wall is, I only care how tasty his backstraps were and how good he looks on my wall.

I put out hand corn to stop them but that's it. I mainly hunt a pinch point along a creek bed between two sections of woods on our lease. We actually only have one gravity feeder on our lease right now

My biggest buck to date (a tad over 150" gross) was shot underneath a corn feeder. It was at the very end of season and food was starting to get scarce.

With that being said, I have a "deer" stand setup on a trail away from everyone of my feeders. Those are what I hunt during the rut. After that, it is back to the feeders.

I don't.....no baiting on public land....in most cases

Heard most still do.... Idk

I am feeding.... Want to do a food plot....

I'm not hunting a feeder this year... Just hunting a trail with some hand corn

[Jaker]

Hand corn at one lease and hunt a feeder at the hog lease

[back-woods-boy]

I hunt east Texas and stay on trails or in pinch points. Eve though we have deer showing at feeders this year I will be on a trail Saturday morning cause I know big boys route home.

I don't use a feeder but put out hand corn when I hunt with the kids.

I take much more pleasure out of scouting and setting up in likely spot. Just having deer of any age or sex pass within yards of me is intensely exciting. I am usually backed into a whitebrush with perhaps a prickly pear cactus in front of me. Have a deer or two walk up and graze in front of you for ten or fifteen minutes when youare in plain sight tells you that you are doing somes things right. But, i will hunt food sources such as feeders to get an idea of what quality of bucks are in the area. It seems that almost all deer will make their way to a feeder. The bucks know the does are there and for them it is probably a lot like hitting the bar trolling for chicks.

I use a feeder for bow hunting on 2 sets and no feeder on one of my sets. If I'm rifle hunting it is all spot and stalk or still hunting. I wish I was good enough to bow hunt that way. Hoofing it is my favorite way to hunt.

Everybody uses something to help. Me I'll use it all to help my odds. Some sets I corn roads, some feeders, and one or two spots natural browse areas that are used. Kills from one are no more impressive than the others. Wanna impress someone grab your long bow and spot and stalk but until then you're still using something to help you.
