As far a the ethical side, I really don't see it as being any different from the methods used by natural predators (wolves, etc.).

Except that natural prediators don't sit a few hundred yards away with a high powered weapon, and massive optics. They call this gathering. Not hunting. That is why I don't like feeders either.
Of course the flip side of this is if you are going to be totally ethical, take the animal on his turf, on equal ground.
I have no real qualms about weapons (per se) to equal the athletic abilty, size, and strength of the game, but I think I'll teach my kids to track, read sign, and hunt. Then you have earned it, and can take pride in it.
