it's not deer hunting that's "over blown", it's the ego's of the self-righteous,self proclaimed "experts" and the millionaire game ranch owners.The prices charged to hunt book class deer,(which can't make the book no matter how much you pay,the fences disqualfy the entry!)are obscene, but like an earlier post stated,as long as people are willing to pay it .but there's no way you can fault the sport of deer hunting because of some lazy inept wanna-be hunters that have to be held by the hand and sit in a shack blind to kill a good buck!! so, they've got $15,000 to kill a trophy deer,they still probably couldn't find their own butt in a dark room with a flashlight AND a map!!!
