Ok, let's take this in another direction. I think my intent in this post was to see if I was alone on pen raised deer and fenced hunting. I think I have learned myself that although I may not like it and it is not for me, I don't have any reason to bash it. Just let it role off my back, I will hunt the way I want and they can do what they want to and spend what they want to. But how can the record books be affected. I know that a deer must be fair chase but what if one of these deer escapes. Can they be entered in B&C or P&Y. Is there any way to tell if they were raised in this manor. Does anyone know of a case where a pen rasied deer was entered or attempted to be entered in any book. I would like to hear more about that. That is something that does affect the everyday hunter.
