I would have gone if I had known some redheaded flute players.

But you did and he played the skin flute.

Dont worry about the EXXON VIPs, they are taken care of when it comes to hunting. Exxon owns a 46,000 acre ranch thats down the road from one of our places in south Texas. They got some "decent" bucks out there

vanity is a real deal we all have to struggle with in our own ways. even us poor people.

pffttthhtttt!

I have to laugh at the occassional high fence debate that takes place out here, usually in the Politics room. I really do not understand why most of you get so twisted over this subject. This is part of our economy, a luxury only the rich can afford - BIG DEAL! Really, who friggin cares? No, it's not hunting and most people I've talked to that hunt a penned ranch will be the first to admit it.

Example: A guy I know here in MI recently shot a super nice 7x7 bull elk in a 250 acre pen with his bow. The guy owns a business and works 70-80 hours per week. He loves feeding any kind of venison to his family and loves to hunt. He paid $3,500 to go shoot meat on the hoof as he termed it. He readily admitted that it wasn't hunting, but offered that going down to the local butcher shop and ordering a side of beef isn't either. Since he'd rather feed his family venison, he viewed the "hunt" as a fun way to go grocery shopping. I agree.

How many pheasant farms are in operation, how many hog farms, deer, elk, etc..?? It's a rather big chunk of the overall contribution the hunting sports has on our economy - these canned hunters need to buy weapons, clothes, gas, lodging, travel, ammo, etc.. I say let them.

Cows and chickens and hogs live a far worse life providing food for our tables than these deer ever will. Maybe we should ban those too?

Come on people, relax. It's not hunting. So what. Let them pay to shoot.

Here's how it goes.............

All whispers........

Hunter: "I can't see him"
Guide: "He's a 'shooter'"
Hunter:"Still can't see him"......"Let me open the window"
Guide: "Now......Ease your gun up"

CLANK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hunter:"Dang!....I hit the ceramic heater with my barrel"
Guide: "Focus, sir....he's a real bruiser"
Hunter: "Oh yeah!.....I see him now.....but there's 3 of them"
Guide: "Careful....I don't want them to wind us.....and be VERY slow in your motions"
Hunter: "If they didn't smell them pancakes, earlier...they won'tsmell us"
Guide: "Slowly.......let off the release"
Hunter: "what's that?"....."and Which one do you want me to shoot?"
Guide: "Shoot the one with the big G2's"
Hunter: "They play golf??!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Guide: "Easy now.....the one on the left....beside Ralph...errrrr...I mean the grey one"

And so goes the "Hunt".......

That's funny.

This joint actually namesthe deertoo. This is not hunting and should not even be clasified as such IMO.

LOL...you guys are funny. I wonder what the longest a buck has "lived" there? Think any of them are able to avoid the hunters for long?

May be something you wish to consider
