[QUOTE="Blackdirt Cowboy, post: 2901396, member: 108138"] Hunting strategies vary in different areas for many different reasons. Here in Texas, in a lot of places, there is a huge deer population and they can become a nuisance. This, coupled with the fact that in some areas of the state the woods are so dense and thick with briars to the point a human can’t move around, I can see why the state allows baiting. That being said, I personally don’t enjoy sitting in a blind over a feeder. I farm and ranch and would rather hunt the very large oat fields that we plant for the cattle. These fields range in size from 100 to 1000 acres. I do still keep feeders running throughout the year. But my goal with those is to keep the doe hanging around on my ranch. I know the areas that bucks will hang out all summer in their bachelor groups. But when the oat fields come up, the deer pretty much quit the feeders anyway. I’ll hide myself on the edge of an oat field and glass it waiting for the deer to come. Sometimes they come out in shooting range and sometimes I have to figure out a way to move undetected through a wide open field to get close enough for a shot. The style of hunting out west is by far my favorite way to hunt, but it’s just impossible to do that in my area because the woods are to thick to move around in and visibility in a lot of it is 25 yards or less. They way I hunt oat fields is as close to western hunting as I can get around here. [/QUOTE]
