Not sure if this has been talked about out here yet (search turned up no threads), but what do you think of this?

This is much like a bass fishing tourney - go out and tranquilize four deer and the most accumulated points wins.

I'm not so sure this is such a good idea.

Basically these innovative guys are promoting a hunting contest conducted with bow and firearm, in a high fence Game Farm.

New purpose for high fences?

Don't forget to wear appropriate camo ...

Yes , it's been beaten to death here and other forums . The latest word is that the WHA is now gonna just do it with bows and guns , but they're still shoooting farmed animals behind high fences .

Old story with the same motive. Making money at the expense of the heritage and sactity of the sport. I don't watch any reality TV so I won't even see it if they try.

I don't even have a TV so I'll be passing her up as well. I wouldn't ever hunt that way. It's not really hunting anyway. They have ponds like that here in Florida full of 10 pound bass so that folks can say they've caught a hawg. Cost about 200.00Catch and release only.

[Redshirt Cowboy]

Nope. Not as long as you still call an apple an apple and don't attempt to call an apple an orange.
