Heck, they might as well....everybody uses them, anyway....currently, our rule states that feeders have to be "out of sight of the hunter"....heard about a guy, last year, that stood up a piece of plywood in front of his feeder, which was about 30 yards from his deer stand....GW ticketed him, and the judge dismissed it because the guy took pics, and the judge said, "legally", the guy could not see the feeder....only the plywood was visible.
