stealthycatII, I agree with you all the way. It is not hunting, plain and simple. Mabey the bigger the area fenced (5000-10000 acres) the more real it seems but it is still a shoot not a hunt, you might just have to look a little longer but you know they are there.

Champlain Islander, now I think you are bringing your opinion into it. This is the USA, a legal activity is just that. You don't have to like it, but that is just the way it is. As far as the common man, hunting preserves aren't hurting us. Take a look around, it's called supply and demand. A rancher is going to get what he can as long as there are people willing to pay.
