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

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!

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 FREE?? - ABSOLUTELY
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.

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.
When in Rome you do not have to do as the Romans!
