Versus Whitetail Challenge
Did anyone watch this show tonight on Versus. It reminded me of last years controversial World Hunting Association (tranquiling deer in a contest).
The show consisted of 4 well known TV hunterswho competed against each other on a ranch in Texas (Tecomate, i think). The show was even commentated by Jeff Foxworthy and some other guy. It was just like watching golf on TV.
The hunters goal was to harvest a 5.5 year old buck or better. The bucks were scored using the B&C gross system. If the buck was under the target age 5 pts were deducted, if it was older 5 pts were added. Rifles were used and all hunting had to be from the ground. Top score won bragging rights and a trophy.
The comment thatreally made the hunt into something else was by jeff Foxworthy on one of the hunters last day out. All the other hunters had harvested a buck. Jeff said "He has no choice he has to shoot one, otherwise he has no chance of winning." Doesnt sound much like hunting to me..
