i saw on tv the other day, Smithsonian i think, a canned hunt investigation...
now i know we have em here in texas, but we also have fenced hunts that are over 250 thousand acres, and its a lil more fair chase as compared to this investigation...
the investigation concluded that they are basically people raised deer, that are tranquilized so they are slower to run..they had animals that didnt even flinch from gunfire 20 yards from them.. a guide would go grab the ram and drag it out in front of the investigators (im para-phrasing) so they could shoot it. i aint down with this at all....although i havnt ventured there, the 250,000 acres is still a hike and the animals can/do run from you in there..its 1/2 the size of rhode island per say, not 50 fenced acres...alot different in my opinion, but it is fenced, and its only 3 or 4 hundred sq acres, not really that much, like real open range hunting.
but to each his own...i aint judging anyone....ok maybe i am, but im keepin it to myself.
