That all depends on how you want to remember the hunt and it's outcome. An experience you earned, versus a trophy you bought.

Just my opinion, but the free range, public land forkie is a more worthy trophy than any exclusive access, farm-fed monster. If hunting free range were so easy, wouldn't all the TV hunters and their sponsors be doing it instead of huntingclosed ranches and game farms?

I'll quit hunting before I pay a deer farmer for shootinga prize pet in his backyard.
