I agree that's exactly what he's doing, and I wish I had the land, money, time to do exactly the same thing. He shouldn't be looked down upon because he's successful with what he's doing. If I had a ranch like the El Cazador I'd be selective in what I shot as well. Hell, I hunt a lease here in NE Oklahoma and I'm selective with what I shoot here. To each his own, I don't think anyone should cast stones at David Morris or anyone else for that matter. The guy has put in alot of effort to get to where he's at and if you don't like his show turn the channel.
