Ive spent more time on a tractor than most on here and can say sitting on a tractor ISNT hunting, it's farming and if u enjoy farming for wildlife that's cool but it isn't hunting.
Farming for wildlife. Yep...thats it. And riding the tractor is what it takes to get it done. There is a good feeling knowing you did something for the game you enjoy hunting.
Nobody does that in your area of Kansas?
Everybody does it here in the Deep South.
Got no problem with food plot guys. Got a buddy who has spent THOUSANDS on food plot implements and tractors and trucks and trailers to pull them. I enjoy planting food plots and have planted my share. It is not a place you go to kill B&C deer every day but food plots do keep wildlife on or near your property.
As a hunter ed instructor I have come to realize we need to be thankful there are all types of hunters. Those who bait, those who food plot and those that do nothing. The deer benefit from all of it.
Just like antler hunters and meat hunters. Both are needed. If everyone was a meat hunter, the deer population would plummet. If everyone was an antler hunter, the deer population would overpopulate and die from disease.
We are all doing our part to maintain great herds of animals for the most part. Where we stumble all over ourselves, is when we poke each other in the eye.
Savell would sing Kumbaya and ask us all to hold hands. Can I get a hippy picture of Savell please?
