Default RE: Contest Poll - Where do you stand?

Canned hunts should be banned for obvious reasons.

I voted yes. Here's why. The playing field is skewed to begin with. Yes, teams are picked at random but depending where your team members are located around the country you could be at a disadvantage to beging with. A team of hunters from the heartland shouldproduce more inches then a team of hunters from Florida, New Hampshire or Maine. Yes there are nice deer around to be hunted, but there are not nearly the number of P&Y book animals that occupy IL, KS, IN,OH just to name a few.
In some of these state you've either got to get drawn for a tag or pay an outfitter to hunt. Assuming the deer are free ranging and all rules of fair chase are adheared to, then the only thing the hunter didn't have to do is scout out animals and hang a stand. Finding land to huntmay even prove to be a task as a non resident even if drawn for a NR tag. Just because you have a tag dosen't mean you have prime land to hut.
