Most people do not care about the record books. Take a poll on any hunting site and you will find that alot of people have shot P&Y class bucks but refuse to enter them for one reason or another. I personally have shot 1 typical buck that would make the B&C books, but since I shot the buck on a 30,000+ acre high fenced ranch I cant enter him. Personally I dont give a damn.

But the fact that high fenced bucks can not be entered into the record books goes to show that the guys who do hunt on high fenced ranches are not doing it for "glory" or to get there name out in the public, like so many claim. People, myself included, hunt whitetails behind high fences because we simply enjoy to hunt. The high fence thing never even crosses my mind, especially on the ranches that I hunt on because they are so big.


"fools willing to pay those ridiculous prices. any where from 5 to 10 to even 20,000 grand for a buck. Thats crazy"


To the guys who pay these prices, they are not ridiculous. I have no problem, finacially or ethically, with paying $5,000 for a deer hunt. I personally wouldnt pay $20,000 for a deer hunt because there are a ton of good ranches out there that offer hunting for alot less then that. But dont knock a guy just because he is willing to pay money to hunt.

When you drive by a million dollar mansion, do you say "man that guy who lives there must be a fool because he paid so much"? I bet you dont, I bet you say "Man I wonder what he does for a living, must be nice". Guys who have the money to pay what ever they want for something are not fools. Belive it or not, they are along ways from being stupid.
