Default RE: Where do you draw the line??

As far as "drawing the line,"as I've said, I have not hunted high fences, guided hunts, or even high dollar places!
But, like it or not, $$$ is becoming a big part of hunting! While its not exactly what most of us would call "hunting," not all "high fences" are "feeder pens!" Do the math! 30,000 acres is several square miles!
As for guided hunts, I can see if you are 1000's ofmiles away from a hunting spot,and paid big $$$ to book a hunt, you might want a "guide," because of distance, and time restrictions!
I can also step back, and see that not all people have the time, or maybeeven the physical ability to scout out a place of their own, and do all the "work" involved in hunting! I just happen to like it all! From the scouting, to the meat proccessing!
Yes, some may just be lazy, some may have more money, than time, or even brains, for that matter! But, if it is legal,it really does allow more people to enjoy the sport of "hunting!"
Even if its not, what most of us would call "hunting!
There was a time when I have been in awe of, and even maybe a little envious at people who could afford 180+ class bucks, that didn't take near the effort I put into hunting!
Now, I say if you want to spend 15,000 dollars on a deer, go ahead!
My doe, or "better than average buck for the area," are my trophies!
So, I guess I draw the line at being legal!
