RE: And the outfitter called this hunting........
If the guy is charging $7500 for a 150 class whitetail, and gettign customers, there must be a demand for this "service".
Whould I do it? No. But if the guy is raising his deer in his fence, and wants to have people shoot them, fine.....matterialistic, but fine. It IS a free (somewhat free at least) country.
Keeping his deer in his fence should not spread CWD...but they SHOULD be tested for when one DOES leave (harvested).
Kinda sounds like going to the farm and shooting a cow (gonna mount that?).
It's sad that people WILL pay that kind of cash to shoot "docile" animals. I would suspect that these are the same types who buy Harley Davidson Jackets, but have no bike....they just want that image.
Could you imagine the humiliation if you were to claim you got that on a "real" hunt ...then your buddies found out you shot it in that manner?
Don't like it. Don't want it. But it ain't my business HOW he wants to kill his deer (key word...HIS)
