OK six pages so far and the post count is still going up. I have quickly read the posts and can see a common theme here. Most if not all of us are disgusted with the type blood sport called canned hunting. There is absolutely nothing sporting or ethical about picking out your trophy in a book and going to a feeder behind a fence to kill the animal. Fair chase is more than a saying and it means that the animal has a chance to get away. There is no fair chase while hunting behind a fence. It is like shooting cows in a pasture and no moral person would justify this even if it was for a trophy rack. Six pages and everyone is aiming at the same target. This must be a record. I will close with this thought. Several good members of this forum have had to leave over the canned hunt issue. Some have boycotted in protest over site advertisers that have canned hunting operations and some have been booted because they wouldn't stop talking about it. I think HNI is a serious business and it offers something for most sports persons. "Canned Hunting" isn't hunting and IMO shouldn't be condoned by anyone for a variety of reasons. Most states are now prohibiting the operations because of abuses similar to those depicted on this thread. The threat of spreading CWD and other assorted respiratory diseasesare also troubling the biologists who are concerned with feeders on these farms. Times change and with enough focus perhaps even HNI will not legitimize these businesses.
