RE: High Fence - Real Life Scenario
 

Jeff I am usually against fenced in hunting but if it brings another youth on board buddy go for it. We need more of todays youth to join the ranks. But promise me some pics on here, deal?
My brother went on a fenced operations a few years back for elk to help out the outfitter cull a few females and that meat was so good.

Thanks, T.....and like I was talking to Rob about a while ago....we also have a good home for the meat;).

Like I was also telling him.....he may well choose NOT to do this.I think the discussion was very telling, though.

My son would be offended if I even offered to take him on a shoot like that, free or not! :) Not our cup of tea!;)

Ahh Happiness is signing on and seeing a GMMAT 22 pager. ;)

Couple thoughts, You have the deer numbers to put him on a doe virtually anytime in your woods. If he hasn't taken a deer, a doe or a buck should give him the same taste of the hunt. The thrill is the chance to shoot your 1st arrow at that live target, knowing if your shot is good, the result will be a quick humane kill.

I couldn't take my son on such a hunt for his first..why, I'm not really sure! It just doesn't seem right, because I'm making the choice for him. Given the chance to have a near 100% shooting opportunity most any youingster would jump at it. Not saying that they don't have ethics, but they are not yet deep rooted as some of ours. They haven't yet grasped the oneness with nature, the real thrill of the hunt itself. Heck, when I was young I never understood how Dad had a "great hunt" when he came home empty handed. It takes some years to understand that the kill is not the hunt, it'sjust a small (sometimes unneccesary) fraction of it.

Now if you choose to go on the hunt, it's different and my viewpoint (after thinking about this for the better part of a year) has pehaps changed. It's a free opportunity (call it free hunt, free shoot, what-ever). How is this different than someone taking you on a free round of Golf. The animal was bred and sustained for this purpose. It's not like they go out in the wild and lasso one and drag it in for you. It's a product. As is the beef you buy at the store, asare the pheasants you shoot at the "Ranch".

Many naysayers on the board would probably jump on it in private. Would I? Offer to film me, we'll do a documentary for the board on an actual canned hunt expirience minute by minute hour by hour with video. No sugar coating. Would I shoot? Can't say ! I've never been in that situation.

GR8....He's already killed a deer, here. He did that a few years ago.

Let me ask....lol.....If I told them we were brothers....you game? Close to home!:D

i disagree some what i am a youngest i guest 23 and i would not take the hunt. maybe if i wanted some meat i would not kill a trophy deer there and i would not mount it.
But this will be my 5th year hunting i have still not got a deer for a few differt reasons.
but i will not settle for anything less the 100% fair chase. not to say one day i would not do it. but i want that first deer kill to be perfect,
