One man's baiting is another man's HF hunting.
baiting is advantageous - but the deer are not bound by an inescapable barrier, nor does baiting have anything to do with breeding big antler horn porn. Its an entirely separate issue.
I live in anti-hunter heaven, and haven't seen any legistlation be affected by high fense operation.
Its a huge black eye to hunting - look no further than the Spider Bull fiasco but you're wrong in that canned hunting - small small enclosures that people come in and shoot caged animals - is banned in quite a few states I believe and rightly so.
Brad, you can't make people be good people or what you want or what you consider to be a good person.
the legalize child porn - right ?
As for what the anti hunters think F*CK the anti hunters i could really care less what they think.and yes i mean every word of that.
thats what sportsman just like you do in Colorado, California, and other states and the result? Spring bear BANNED, cougar hunting BANNED, leg hold traps BANNED, dove hunting BANNED, many many petitions to ban certain deer hunts BANNED ......... you think twiddling your thumbs and saying screw ARA's will be a good defense against what they're doing ?
We should not think bads about a type of hunting just because the antis dislike it or want to use it for a reason. to stop hunting.
I'm accepting to baiting, dogs, drives, different types of weapons ........ I doubt you can list a "type" of hunting I won't come to someones defense on.
I'm fine with shooting deer in pens - but the shooting of deer in pens is NOT HUNTING ! Its not, and the fact remains those fences are there to stop fair chase.
Yes you can argue 20,000 acres makes it almost unlike there isn't a fence - but there is one, and its there for anti-hunting reasons.
Taking a kid to a high fence so he can find out what's it's like to hunt is like taking him to a brothel to find out what women are like.
If I can edit that to say Taking a kid to a high fence so he can find out what's it's like to hunt is like taking him to a brothel to find out how to love a woman is really like.
nice analogy
LouisianaTomkat if you're a Dad you know that you have to lead the way with your children, guide them in whats right and wrong. Its what a Dad does
Jeff I am usually against fenced in hunting but if it brings another youth on board buddy go for it. We need more of todays youth to join the ranks. But promise me some pics on here, deal?
My brother went on a fenced operations a few years back for elk to help out the outfitter cull a few females and that meat was so good.
when that is the normal for "hunting" then Hunting has lost and has been replaced with something entirely different - its been replaced with what the anti-hunters call us and say about us - they've won and they're right
GMMAT - you and I both know (and you cannot argue it) those fences are there to manipulate the genetics, grow big antlers, make money and do it all in an escape proof fence through cattle-like farming techniques.
How proud can you be of shooting a barnyard animal ? Awe, maybe he's only half tame, he certainyl aint wild, he certainly didn't grow the rack by accident .... hey do they ear tag the bucks ?
How many acres was this place ??
