Oh good lord. That's a whole lot of ignorance for such a small post.
I've done both for about forty years. In both cases you're hunting over bait, whether you put it there or you hung a stand next to a prolific oak or a soybean field or whatever. Or you're trying to catch them going to or coming from a food source. Why you gotta cheat like that?
You can cry about how people in that other state where it's legal aren't really hunting like you are but that's mostly just your vagina speaking.
Corn is not crack. And you'll likely never kill a big wallhanger hunting at a feeder unless the rut is on and it's not the corn that got him there then either.
I'm sure the hunting in Texas has been really horrible because they allow you to hunt on feeders because obviously disease killed all the deer because the deer finally met another deer in the wild. I mean if it wasn't for immaculate conception there wouldn't be any deer at all.
Gimme a break.

I don't hunt over feeders much, but definitely do it a few times a year. I pretty much don't care for it one way or the other.
I'm of the opinion; You hunt your way and I'll hunt mine. As long as we both stay within the confines of the law and do it ethically then there is no problem I see.
Of all the times I've hunted over feeders I don't think once, that I have shot one at a feeder or pile of rice bran. The few times I've hunted over a feeder/rice bran and have deer come to them, they were always really small bucks or small does.

So you where hunting over a food plot or you just buy unclean corn....
I also feed very little corn. I feed protein and minerals things that actually help the deer and deer herd...corn has little to no nutriental value.

So are pixie sticks, but you wouldn't feed these to your kids all the time...

It's much better than pure sugar though. Complex carbohydrates brah.
Not saying protein and minerals are bad, they're necessary, but the bulk of your energy comes from carbs. You need all of it.

Corn is like Candy to Deer, it does little for them.

With the abundance of deer, I have no problem with hunting over corn. We had so many deer at my old place I almost look at it as a way to control population.

+1. We have a few feeders for the deer on our property, but we have a TON of oaks that give a good acorn crop every fall. When those acorns start falling, the deer are eating those and completely ignoring the corn. Even the young bucks and does.

Late in the season when the honey locust pods drop the deer flock to that like crack

I got more shots than the corners every year I was in my old lease. I have no opinion on legality, but won't use it because I think it hurts more than it help for what i want to do.

And if the picture was of a dead deer under an oak tree it would be exactly the same thing, but you wouldn't know what you were looking at.

Should baiting/feeding deer be illegal?
Simple answer: Yes
I think it makes hunters lazy. Instead of scouting, and finding areas that deer want to go, whether it be an acorn flat, natural travel corridor, etc, we make the deer come to us. While scouting, instead of thinking "Why would a deer come here?", we just give them a reason.
I was actually thinking about this today. I went trail running this morning in a state park, and with it being so dry, everything was dry, except this little bit of sludge water at the very bottom of the deepest pond. When I ran by, I saw 6 deer drinking water, and an ungodly amount of tracks. I immediately thought to myself if it would be sporting for me to hunt that area if I were able.
Have a shot deer over bait? You betcha. Did I ever feel accomplished? Nope. Just killing meat.

I have expressed my feelings on this before, and IMO there is a difference between shooting and "hunting." That said, "Hunting" has evolved and if baiting is the norm in some areas then I suppose there is really no turning back. I think being blessed out west with plenty of open, public land changes a persons opinion as well, but hunting over bait wasn't as prevalent a couple decades ago in the south as it is now. I think the norms have changed and it is accepted now.
