In all seriousness... it gets a little tin foil hat-y, but it has been rumored that the state DNR's purposely brought in coyote to control the deer populations. The DNR didn't realize that coyotes were such an opportunist and would rather pick off quail which roost on the ground. Well...that's one theory anyway. Then there are the turkey.... of course, big farmers buying out smaller farms didn't help either...and pulling up the fences and farming from one ditch to the next ditch took away a lot of their cover.

Just wondering OP, do you collect the doe pee at your ranch?
I've always wondered where they get the pee for the cans of scent. |

I think all of the haters are funny. It's like the hardcore bow hunters. Somebody does things differently, so obviously they're they devil.
These deer aren't pets. They aren't kept in a 10'x10' pen until they're going to be shot. This is a ranch that is most likely at least a thousand acres. Sure, you'd have a better chance seeing a monster buck on this place but it's still a hunt. You don't just walk out the door of your luxury cabin and shoot a 200+" buck. The guides have to know the property and the patterns of the deer. Is it like hunting public land? Absolutely not. It's still hunting and still supports the sport. The people ranting about it are the same types of people that say their old '06 is ok, but those AK15's should be banned. |

View Quote Are you going to say the guided hunts and fishing trips I've been on make me not a hunter or angler? |

Yeah i would still call this a canned hunt in that taking a trophy deer there vs "fair Chase" is a big difference. Nothing immoral about it though. Business is business and 150acres is plenty of land to get lost in.
If I had the money id definitely give it a try. |

Just my opinion though and its still awesome to see. Its just different is all. Yes fair Chase game shows more knowledge and dedication. Sometimes by choice. Often by financial necessity |

We have to blunt bucking bulls horns to size of a half dollar to conform to PBR rules they bleed like all hell. Do deer bleed profusely when you cut the antlers? View Quote Horns grow continuously and are "hollow." That means that the corn of a horn is living tissue. Horns continuously grow and are composed of material very much like our hair. Antlers, once they have grown for the season have solid interiors with no living tissues. Antlers are grown and shed annually. |

lol @ the haters in this thread.
Just like the similar thread last week. |

Nice looking deer but not my cup of tea. If I paying thousands of dollars I would rather go with a guide and hunt one of the wildernesses
out west. That said, I'm not bothered by people who do this. |

So crybabies here are comparing "public hunting lands" of a couple hundred acres to "private hunting land" that's most likely thousands of acres?? And the private land is the canned hunt??
Yeah I know out west the tracts are much bigger. But it seems like the loudest are from out east. The stupidity of GD knows no bounds. |

Or are you hunting deer that were bred and born in captivity? Deer that were handled by humans multiple times? Deer that had their antlers cut off so they wouldn't injure eachother when they are in confined spaces during transportation. In that case we are talking about the difference between hunting and harvesting livestock. What the OP is describing is harvesting livestock. These are not wild animals. They may look like they're wild, they may behave much like wild animals, but they are livestock. They are in fact legally livestock in most if not all states where this takes place. And the manner in which they are harvested is not hunting. They are penned animals. The pen may be very large and they animal may not encounter the fence often. But they are penned animals. and the hunter may dress in camo, and he may have to pursue the animal to some extent. He may have to find it and pattern it in order to get a shot, but its not the same as pursuing a truly free range wild animal. It has as much in common with walking out to a pasture and shooting a steer as it does with hunting. And again, I have no problem with it. If you enjoy it then more power to you. Just don't call it real hunting. It's not. I've never hunted deer that way. Have no desire to. It doesn't appeal to me at all. I'd take no pride in the result. It just doesn't make sense to me. On the other hand,I have done canned bird hunts. A pheasant tower shoot. It was a lot of fun. It wasn't a hunt though. So I don't have some moral objection to canned hunts. Knock your socks off. I'm just trying to illustrate that there IS a difference. |
