I think your idea, and understanding of how many ranches are managed for deer, and how most TV shows are produced is a bit off. My grandfather was a guide in Texas for many years. I'm no expert, but I have a little knowledge. The ranches are larger than the deers normal home range, so many of the deer never leave the ranch. Most ranches are fencedin a manner that will not stop a deer. The deer are also given supplimental feed, food plots, feeders, and such. This isn't "feeding" or "raising" them. How much feed would it takeif they were feeding the deer? I'm sure if they were feeding them the cost would be unbelievable. As for the naming of deer. Only the elusive, extrordinary, stand outbucks get named. This is ussually a deer that people have been seeing for a few years, but no one has tagged yet. The names they recieve are nicknames, the same a a big deer running around any other part of the country avoiding a bullet gets a nickname. No one is incharge of naming it, just some day, some one gives it a name that sticks.

As far as your understanding of the producion of the TV shows; No one wants to watch footage of a hunter in his stand looking at nothing. The raw footage from these shows gets edited. This makes it look easy. Of course some time people get lucky and score on the first day. I have. Anyway, put your self in a producers shoes and think ratings for a minute.

I understand you have a position you must stand by, but I felt the need to clarify a few thing. Please note, I am not denying that canned hunts don't exist. I'm just trying to clear the air a little.
