Had some family over at the house for Sunday dinner, all are very avid deer hunters and casual bank fisherman but aren't in the know about tournament fishing or the new sonar technology. Had the Fork event on and their take on FFS was, "that's cheating", "shouldn't be allowed in competition". Just a casual observation from some non biased outdoorsman. Makes me wonder if this might be the standard view by most not entrenched in the sport, what do yall think?

I think like most things it'll be split. I've heard that's bad a$$ and also Dam that's cheating!
If I had to pick one I would say most would call it cheating.
By the time I get one it'll be obsolete. Lol.

if you use food plots or feeders to attract deer and cameras to determine their feeding times,would that be cheating and "deer shooting" instead of deer hunting?

Honestly if they are not involved in the activity or tournaments then I'm not overly concerned with their opinions on it. They obviously have zero time using it and a very basic or even limited understanding of it. Casually they are free to think what they want. People who don't use it tend to think kooks it's push and play. It's not.

Tell your avid deer hunters to put away their guns,, throw a corn cob with a hook in it to their deer. Convince the deer to eat it, then reel the deer in. Hiding and shooting a deer from a blind in a baited area is cheating.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Those that don't or can't usually hate on the unknown.
It's sadly the American way

I do have to laugh at all the so call deer hunters I know here in Oklahoma. 99% of them have corn feeders set out somewhere. They drive to their spot and wait until that buck shows up and bag it. They wouldn't last 5 minutes hunting deer in the Rockies where I used to hunt deer and elk. You are up before daylight, hiking up a mountain, walking the ridge lines, glassing slopes, checking out ravines and creek areas. If you do spot a deer/elk you want and you shoot and hit it then the work begins. You have to get it out. You may be several miles from camp and the terrain is not easy to pack an animal out. You quarter the animal and pack it out on your back with a pack frame. It may take you all day to do that.
Now the guys from Texas that would come to Colorado to hunt were something else. Big horse trailers, squad size tents, the whole setup. Drinking all night, maybe getting out around noon. Rode their horses in a few miles in the middle of day and seeing nothing. Stop by our camp and wanted to know where we got our deer/elk...:) Couldn't believe we hunted on foot...:) Best reply I ever heard was from a Marine buddy I used to hunt with.." Jim Beam ain't gonna do your scouting or hunting for you". We'd have a beer after everything was done and our animals were back in camp. Just our unspoken agreement to do it that way.
Now that is real hunting...not the corn feed hunting style that I see around here. To each his own I guess.

I assume these family members are all 100% spot and stalk hunters to make such claims.
