While I don't like this practice, If you look at this dispassionately what you have is game management. And that is the responsibility of the landowner.
While I don't agree with hunting over feeders or from a vehicle, It is legal in Texas. Take it up with the lawmakers.
The article didn't say weather deer were harvested this way. I think probably not. It sounds to me like the animals were so called "exotics", or non- native species.
Dead is dead weather from home or at the game farm. These animals are raised expressly for sport hunting and nothing else.

Raised as part of a hunting family, I have shot a few deer and antelope. While I didn't enjoy it, I have no problem with hunters. Deer harvests are needed. However, killing animals at a feeder via the internet is neither "sport" nor "hunting." It is simply killing because you want to kill something. Like I said, I have no problem with hunters. I do have a problem with people who just want to kill something just for the sake of ending the life of a living creature.
