Anyone who wants to go "hunt" at a place with fences and feeders, isn't a real bowhunter to me. Shame on you.

The king ranch is not high fenced. Out there a single pasture might be 15,000 acres or larger so you are not likely to see any fences anyway. My cousin used to work out there and they have some huge bucks out there on the ranch. He said if you get out there in the middle of the ranch you can get lost in a hurry. You just have miles and miles of brush. You normally have to get in a big tower blind to be able to see anything because the brush is too thick to see through on the ground level. So you get up high to see over it. I've never got to hunt the King ranch but I've hunted other ranches in South Texas and it is not as easy as everybody thinks to hunt down there.

Im certainly not paying 20 grand for a friggin deer.. Thats bullsmack.

id rather go to Alberta for a bighorn sheep for that kind of money or even treat my buddy to an elk hunt someplace and still have money left over. I have whitetails here. Im not picky. I dont care if i ever get a P&Y buck. I just enjoy being in the woods hunting. I feel grateful to harvest the deer i do.

but like i said earlier.. if its free its for me!

I'm sure you, being the hunting god that you are, has never hunted near a picked cornfield, a bean field, an oak ridge, or even over any green grass.

Better beleive I'd go if it was free. But why pay for it when I can hunt my own ranch - yep, over feeders.

For those prices?? NOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY!!!!!!

$20,000 for a 200 class deer?? OH MAN - that would be one safe deer in front of me!!! I could buy my own hunting land for that much money! WOW! I think I just shivered.

RE: Would you take a free hunt at King Ranch?

The numbers I posted are straight from there website, and the hunt my daughter got to go on WAS FREE!!!!!!!! Hell I would not pay those prices either! But FREE Now were talking!LOL:)

RE: Would you take a free hunt at King Ranch?

I would certainly take the trip ,But there is no way I would ever shoot any animal in a pen or over bait ,neither are moral or necessary.

This would be a great chance for some photos and some time outdoors.
