Default An example of what gives Texas hunting a bad reputation,IMO

I know, I know...if it is legal we shouldn't bash other types of hunting and whatnot.....but then again they shouldn't have sent me a brochure as part of some mass mailing list they bought from the State Dept of Wildlife if they don't want me to complain and whine about it.

Below isthe website if you want to see for yourself but I'll give a brief recap.
www.whitetailbucksllc.com

1000 acres and while it doesn't explicitley say so, I guarantee you it is a high fenced operation. 1000 acres may sound big to some of you thick woods guy back east, but in the realm of Texas ladscape/terrain, that is not very big. 1 mile wide by 1 1/2 mile long or some configuration thereof.

Basically, its 200/day for lodging and 200/day for a required guide and then trophy fees apply.

They state you will see 20-30 trophy animals per day.

130's -150's $3500
160's-190's $10,000
200 and over - fee upon request

Wounded game is paid at full trophy fee

10-15% gratuity is recommended therefore expected

I know this post won't change anything and probably should have left unwritten, but when I read the owner's qoute

"the Grothaus's true sense of fulfillment now lies in having their clients reach their own personal hunting goals",

well....that was too much, I just had to vent a little.

There, I'm done. Flame away
