This may come as a shock to some of you guys, but there are plenty of people (mainly companies) that will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to hunt a place. If a company wants a "corporate lease" on a ranch in south Texas (lets say the king & kennedy ranches) there going to cost atleast $400,000 a year for the bigger pastures. Now the king & kennedy ranches are a LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNGGG way from being what this "hunt" on ebay is, but there are people out there that pay big money to hunt.

This place on Ebay says that the $100,000 allows you to kill atleast 9 bucks, regarless of the size. Now $10,000 is a pretty cheap price to pay for a 200"+ buck, especially if you can make one of your best customers or CEO happy.
As you said, its a kill, not a hunt. Two different things. There is a certain skill a hunter aquires in pursueing his game on its own turf. There is a lot of sweat invovled in a hunt and hours of trying to pattern the game and a lot of fraustrating events and elements with no guarentee that seperates a real hunter from a wannabe guaranteed weekend warriorhunter.I'm not one for someone to put me ina spot and say,"hunt here", especially over baitand in a fenced in area and from a tower, either These weekend warriors will shoot there bucks and be back at the lodge by 10:00 a.m. Then go back at work on monday wearing his cute litttle bow tie and tell ofthis dramatic excurtionthat he under took in stalking this evasive buck.
I myself do not know what a guaranteed hunt is and when this issue came up here in hunting pinned animals I voted against it and now you cannot do it within this state
If its not free range, than your just harvesting and don't associate me or any of the true sportsman who do there homework and have walked the mile.. and can actually call there self a hunter as opposed to someone guaranteeing a trophy without getting their feet wet.
