Is it a canned hunt? No. In a canned hunt, all 4 of the hunters would have killed out. Canned hunts are guaranteed kill.

Is it a fair chase hunt? Absolutely, we are talking about over 15 square miles of land and you should see the brush in South Texas.

This hunt is legal and ethical. Anybody who would have a problem with this being a fair chase hunt better get out of their ivory tower (or tower of envy).

The only legitimate complaint someone might have is that the state of Texas (the people) do own the deer and does a landowner have the right to fence in public property. However, the property right laws back the landowner on this one.

I would never, ever go on a canned hunt. However, if this ranch invites me to go hunting, I'm going!
