Are we really hunting?

Anti crossbow guys will gladly use a wheel bow with no shame. Different times I suppose...

 

[Blacktail_]

What are your thoughts. All is legal. Whitetail deer hunting, over bait with cell cameras and a crossbow. Personally I think this going to far and not hunting, harvesting. This is night and day from when I grew up bowhunting deer, no bait, no cameras. Killing a mature hunted whitetail was HARD and required a lot of work to do it consistently. Now you dump corn, set a camera, pattern a deer, check the camera before you walk into your stand so you do not spook deer, and then kill him. To easy?

Won’t ever shame someone for putting meat on the table but I’m darn glad I live in the west. Hunting the mountains for blacktail that have probably never been seen by other humans, big difference from people hunting the same 7 deer they can name every year on their farm over east.
