RE: Horn Farming
Dave is correct. This type of ranch is a business. You're in business to make money. Growing big racks is how you do it.
There are plenty of doctors,lawyers and the like that don't have the time to spend hunting, or the lifestyle that most of us enjoy in the outdoors.
They are willing to pay big money to expierence what we love. It may be the only time each year.
NYC has very few treestands.
I wouldn't hunt on such ranch. That takes all the best part out of it IMO.
But I would not condem anyone who only has a week out of a year, that wants to expierence a successful kill. To some , that is hunting. Just not my kind.
