I didn't check this forum for a coupledays and was quite suprised at all the posts on here. I am 15 years old and will again state thatI am appaled at what some people have made hunting. I shot my first buck last year with a muzzleloader and my first doe this year with a bow. I am most certainly nota trophy hunter as I treasure my doe as much as my buck. I have come to the realization that hunting is more than killing. I enjoy the challenge that comes from it and try to keep it as ethical as possible. My uncle does not even get excited over the deer he kills because he only hunts for trophies and bragging rights. If you really enjoy hunting it should not matter what you harvest. That is whyI state before all of you that Ralph and Vicki Cianciarulo and Realtree's crew are not in the right mindset if you ask me. Anyone who resorts to hunting the places they do only does it for the trophy. I do think of them as the best of people and enjoy watching their hunts. Some of you have stated that you do not shoot trophy deer in these places. I know this has truth, but why do you have to go there for such a hunt? Enjoy the real outdoors and don't turn hunting into a game. You say that you want to enjoy nature and only hunt canned hunts to do so. This is not true. If you really wanted to view nature you would not have to go there and spend big money. If you wanted buffalo meat you wouldn't have to go there and shoot it. You can ramble on and on about how canned hunts are ethical or hard, but they can never be real. If you hunt a 10,000 acre place in Africa with truly wild game, then it is entirely different, but you are still paying too much just for a kill. I will state that if you were a real hunter you would really hunt. All trophies in the wild are hard to get and that is the reason I hunt them. I give them a completely fair chance and enjoy their evasion tactics.I get frustrated at missing or losing one but that is the fun. I know that these animals have every way possible of evading me and that makes me feel like a hunter. I won't resort to shooting an animal in a fence. Everyone should decide their ownhunting methods and I am sharing my views. It's aGAME if you have to PAY to shoot it. End of story.
