Some of you may have heard I was offered a HF hunt.....free of charge, to me. I thought about it....and decided against it. Nothing :holier than thou"....just a personal decision. I cast no judgement on anyone who goes on these.

I watched it last night (promotional DVD sent to me by the owner).....and it affected me moreso than I ever dreamed it could have. They LITERALLY ride people around .....or the people walk around (in a spot nd stalk fashion) on this "Farm" to kill these giants. These absolute GIANT, maginificent lookingdeer are absolutely reduced to being an animal these folks seemingly (and literally) picked from the menu. I saw 180+ class deer.....routinely killed by people walking around.....or people riding on the back of a UTV.

It's legal....and it is what it is.....so I won't condemn it. But I never knew watching it.....seeing the fence......seeing the deer.....would affect me the way it did. These giants.....I mean AWESOME deer.....deserve(d) better. What I mean by that is.......It's like taking a magnificent wild stallion....and reducing him to pulling a toy wagon at the carnival. He was destined for greater than that.

Off of soapbox.......
