Im not going to bash Texas, Texas has great deer, but im not for Hi-Fence Hunting at all. I think it goes against true hunting ethics. When I hunt, I hunt fair chase. But everyone has different hunting ethics, personally id never pay $2500.00 to shoot a deer that has been fenced in all its life. Id rather spend the 24.00 and actually put some skill into the hunt.

is that at like a high rize fence place or in your back yard any of those 2 deer would be a trophy to ne one up here in vermont but id take the second one
Yes, lets all just assume that all of Texas is high fenced. Drop all the Texas slamming crap, its getting old. If your going to bash anyone for trying to make money on hunting, bash Illinois. They just increased their licenses to $450 or so.
We have 1250 acres and we see bucks like this frequently. Our ranch is not high fenced. Only 4 strands of barbed wire 4' high to keep the cattle in. Very few deer will come into a feeder during the day. Setting up in the cover, off the feeders is generally the best tactic. If you dont likethe way we hunt, then stay the hell out, but dont bash us. I personally dont makevery much moneyon the ranch, andI let friends come down and hunt for free. The charges we charge for hunting is simply to help pay for the taxes and the food plots, and feed we put in the feeders, not to make millions.
We're all hunters, and this is the stuff anti's love.
On topic, I'm taking the 2nd deer.
