To each his own choice. Thank goodness I don't have to hunt in Texas. Shooting deer at a feeder seems too much like shooting livestock in a pasture; I have no interest in either.
Northern New England still has a lot of land, both private and public, that is open to the public at no charge. It may take a little work to find and the deer densities aren't real high but it isn't tough to escape the crowds. The hunting isn't a lot different than when I was a kid hunting with my dad 50+ years ago.
