TX....state owned and regulated. But accessable to only those with the keys.
I don't have problem with a landowner doing whatever he wants with his property. But there should be an accurate count of animals entraped and a price paid for animals.
Me......the whole thing has turned me off of deer hunting. Me and my pards now spend our hunting dollars on trips to Co in search of game. For us at least, it is the pleasure is in the "doing", the process, and all this crap about Trophies and high fences and citizens rights just sticks a little too much in my craw. I hate to cast general aspersions, but show me a hunter that is all about trophies and kills.........and I only see a sad person that has no concept of what being in the great outdoors is all about. I feel sorry for them. Don't mean to ruffle feathers, each to his own and more power to them. Just remember that there are others out here that don't share your "greed". The greatest "trophy" hunt I was ever on was the taking of relatively small whitetail doe on our lease here Texas. No high fences, no record book animals involves, at least not by the standards set forth by some group of individuals with initials for names. Watched my hunting partner use his bow to kill his first deer after several failures. He was 12 and my stepson. And that moment was only slightly better than all the failed attempts.
That is why I hunt. It can be a soletary endeavor enjoyed immensely, but the passion when shared is the ultimate. All this other "stuff" only matters when it infringes on that passion.
