Default RE: Would you take a free hunt at King Ranch?

Alot of the things that people do in Texas are illegal and called poaching in many states. Some people have moral & ethical reasons not to hunt the way Texans do.
These are some of the things that stand out to me.
1. Shooting deer that can not escape an enclosure is not fair chase hunting .Shooting penned deer is wrong.
2.Shooting deer from a truck window is wrong no matter where you are ,it is wrong.
3.Baiting a white tailed deer is not right.Baiting waterfowl was outlawed a long time ago becase it creates birds to easily killed,it is time to outlaw baiting deer also.

These are just three reasons that I thinkmake Texas hunters look bad.There is very little public land in Texas so anyone that wants to hunt has to pay these fees,this being the case young hunters are taken to these ranches and their dad buys them a deer and when they grow up the cycle is repeated , now if you have grown up in Texas this is how you think hunting should be done.
And in Texas that is how it will always be done.
