Why I hate Tree Stand Hunters
Posted on 5/7/11 at 12:57 pm

Louisiana hunters set up $1000 feeders and $10000 tree stands and wait for the deer to come and eat their corn.
LINK
Colorado hunters stalk down deer, track them, and shoot them from the ground.
LINK
Quite tired of my brohter bragging about his hunting trips where he sits in his cooled deer stand with his ipod and jerks it in the stand.
I thought we were supposed to have real hunters here?

I always felt using feeders was cheating, but I'm cool with stands..

Slight exaggeration eh?

I requested this to be sent to the Outdoor Board so you can get torn apart.
Just fair warning.

Deer are not destination feeders. I understand that perhaps you are likely not an expert on deer hunting, but the baiting of deer is simply providing them with one more potential food source. Deer are not like cattle.
Furthermore, deer quickly become conditioned and you will not harvest a mature deer over feed unless there is a shortage of nutrients in the surrounding range.
You sir are a dumbass. Having hunted deer both ways, I can tell you that neither is somehow more ethical than the other.

I'm not talking ethics here. I'm talking pure hunting tradition where you find the deer in their natural feeding grounds.

Your logic is 100% flawed. Define natural feeding grounds.

So you are telling me that Native Americans never baited the animals that they hunted?
The defense rest your honor. Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about, nor have you prepared a strong case for why baiting deer is somehow revolutionary to the hunting industry.

Take my two video posts. Hunt 1 is killed AT THE feeder. Video 2 deer is killed in a field.

Native Americans relied on the deer for their food supply, making it almost a necessity to bait them to ensure the animals would be there.
It is now a sport and a skilled hunter will find the deer.

Your videos are bullshite as well. You are comparing a Mule Deer to a Whitetail
Mule Deer are large range animals. No one hunts them over feed, because they couldn't give two shits about it. For the most part you must spot and stalk Mule Deer, unless you are in a private pin.

Then comparison aside...Why do I never hear of hunters stalking white tail and using other methods than tree stands and feeders.

Venison makes up more than 70% of the meat I feed my family. We put 23 deer in the freezer last year, and supplied countless other families with processed meat at no charge, many of which were elderly and impoverished.

Why I hate Louisiana Hunters
Check my place out and you will think differently of louisiana hunters. We have nothing but nutsack deep swamp, you have to walk to wherever you are hunting that day in that shite, and if you kill something, you gotta drag it out through that shite. Plenty of louisiana hunters are the hardest working hunters there ever were. I bet our place could make PLENTY moutain goat hunters complain.
Our most expensive stand probably costs $300, and guess what? We had to lug that heavy bastard through the swamp and finish building it where it is. You sir, are an idiot.
Some people set up like you're talking about, but there's some boys around here that you couldn't nearly keep up with.

Clearly you aren't listening. I have spot and stalked whitetails, and if you'll watch the Outdoor Channel for an hour you'll see countless hunters do the same.
Whitetails are more keen and have a greater advantage, due to the terrain, than a Mule Deer.

Ok. I will rephrase my statement. I hate the folks like my brother and their thousand dollar stands. If you are working for it, then kudos to you. I just want someone's educated argument as to why tree stands and feeders are the norm around here.

The Norm: The average hunter doesn't get the hunt 7 days a week, so he must give himself every advantage possible on the 2 day weekends that he can hunt.
