RE: High fenced trophies?
In response to doubleA
I would still consider that a canned hunt. for the simple reason of in a high-fenced ranch, they put you in a spot that they know that the elk/whatever animal that your hunting crosses near regularly. It is in no way the same type of hunt. I used hunt in there only for a lack of a better word to combine the two, so instead maybe harvest or killing.
If it was for a cow elk purely for the meat of the animal, I would consider that, if I hadn't drawn out on a tag for some other area. It is a matter of obtaining meat. But when it involves taking a "trophy" it shouldn't be allowed in the record books. It would never have attained as much mass and tine length had it been on public land it's entire life.
