[QUOTE="mountainman56, post: 1080825, member: 79106"] Seems to me this was an article about gun owners and hunters banding together. :rolleyes: Folks with access to unlimited square miles don't understand feeders, food plots, salt licks, etc. I am from western Canada originally, spent the first 42 years of my life there and was hunting over 30 of those. The areas I hunted were measured in square miles, frequently hundreds of square miles. I thought feeders were unfair and for lazy hunters. Now I live in West Texas where every acre is privately owned. The places most people get to hunt and usually pay dearly to do so, are so choked with mesquite and juniper you can only see 50 yards. If you don't have a feeder or at least a long sendero carved out of the brush and an elevated shooting platform you are not going to have any venison in the freezer unless you run over one on the highway. I am luckier than most as I have places in the hills where I can stretch the legs on some of my rifles as well a local area with hundreds of acres of alfalfa fields in which I can hunt deer and pigs, most others do not have these options. Hunters are the same the world over. Some work hard to get the trophy they want. Others not so hard but want to get some meat in the freezer. We all know the amount of work you put into it usually dictates how successful you are. What we tend to forget is that the job description varies greatly from one part of the country to another.
