RE: Huntingnet Promotes Hunts Behind Fences!
 

I dunno, not in my state and I am not going to spend time looking into it. Other than the legality issue, its no different than killing a game farm deer.

Everyone thought it was a hell of a trophy taken by a kid - phenomenal ..... uh, until you realize that it was game farm deer. No big whoop now, everyone was duped and hunting took yet another black eye for it.

Okay, what would YOU compare it to ? It aint hunting, its just killing a bunch of raised animals - like a slaughter house. It aint hunting. IF you provide the animals that people are going to use in these oeprations, I don't se ehow your hands could possibly be clean of the situation. Kinda like the pmimp saying he didn't have anything to do with the act.

And you're a spoiled teenager and my Daddy can whip your Daddy and I can pee higher ...... LOL ! You're really hung up on Stealthycat, aren't you ? A fixation or something maybe ??

Big Country - Maybe we're going about this wrong. I've stated what I think - that game farm killing is NOT hunting and that it never will be.

Where are the lines between Hunting and Not Hunting for you ? I give you 250 acres, 80% fields, 125 animals, 10 different species and they all come to rattling a feed bucket ....

Is that Hunting to you ? Do you have any problems people calling it huntg, or new stations reporting it as hunting an such ?

RE: Huntingnet Promotes Hunts Behind Fences!
 

Big difference! I OWN the deer in the pen, your neighbor does not OWN the deer that live on, or crosses his property. I know, he feeds them. He feeds his kids too, that doesn`t give him the right to shoot them.

Really, a black eye? Did you find that on CNN? Thats hogwash, and you know it.
I would guess that YOU slamming other hunters for their legal hunting methods do more damage by far.

Why do I have to compare it to anything? It is what it is. If you don`t want to participate, fine. I will let you in a little secret. I don`t want to go in a pen and shoot a deer either. So what.

I am probably as old as your daddy. You might be able to pee higher now, but when I was younger?

I will gladly take the land, and the critters! Maybe you ain`t so bad afterall!;)

It doesn`t matter what I think it is. It doesn`t matter what you think it is.
And news people around here don`t spend much time on such things. They just don`t affect the moon and the stars that much.

I have to run to the store, don`t get scared! I`ll be back in 10 minutes.

I have no idea what happened to that post, but I am confident you will decipher it.:D

Big Country, You stated

I'll take you up on that. You can sell the rack on E-bay afterwards and donate the money to your favorite charity.

Goodman's right?

Hunting is, and always has been about killing animals. There was never any "degree of difficulty" analysis before we could call it hunting. When the plains Indians drove buffalo over a cliff by starting a prairie fire, they were hunting, even if the "poor beasts" didn't stand a chance. When degree of difficulty becomes important, it is the beginning of the end of hunting. Each generation will re-define hunting in a more strict manor, until it becomes illegal to shoot game by any method.

Anti-hunters would love to see fenced hunting stopped next year. The year after, they would like to extend it to baiting, then to tree stands. In a few years, it will be illegal to use scents as attractants. Handguns will be outlawed and it will extend to hunting with them. Finally, long range rifles will go, then the shotguns. Little by little, they will take away any advantages we have over an animal and eventually hunting of any type will be illegal.

As long as killing animals is okay, whether it be a cow, a chicken or a deer, then fenced hunts should be fine. Who cares if some guy kills a trophy in a pen. I certainly don't. If he's happy - great. It's no skin off my back and I see nothing wrong with killing an animal that doesn't have a chance. It happens every day to millions of animals - which I suport fully.

Charlie, how did I know somebody would post this!:D

Actually, as above, I said I could, I did NOT say I would.

The animals are worth too much. I invite you to come down though. I will put you in one of the pens. You will see for yourself that those deer want no part of you. They will run as far as they can in the small pens. The big pens they can easily hide. You have to be very careful in the 5 acre seperation pens. The deer try so hard to evade you, they some times get tangled up in the fence.

As to you going in with a bow, that will cost you! You can be my first hunter.

Or as Stealthy would say.....you can be my first "prostitute"!:D

Let me know where one can find a prostitute who pays the money.:D

Calling yourself a hunter is a personal thing, just like calling yourself an athlete.

Race car drivers call themselves athletes (I think they are), yet some people feel that they are not, they feel football players, boxers and the like are.

My definition of a hunter is different from other peoples definition, to me a hunter is some one who does it all, the first thing is IMO a hunter will not hunt in a fenced in area, second a hunter will do all his own scouting, and set all of his own stands, the kill is just that, a kill! The actual kill IMO is not hunting.

There are people who in thier opinion feel they are hunters even though they hire guides to do all thier scouting and stand placements for them and then they come in behind the guide and do the killing of the game. If they feel they are hunters that is fine by me, in my opinion they are not, but in thier opinion they are.

Then you have the person who in their opinion they are a hunter if they kill an animal. Period! They have the opinion that a hunter and a killer are one in the same and feel that killing a deer in a pen is hunting.

I have no problem with any of them calling themselves hunters as long as it is legal, my definition of a hunter and theirs is different.

Huntingnet is here to make money, and as long as their advertisers are legal and not anti hunting I have no problem at all with anyone advertising here.

Zelazny you need to look up the word sponsor, Huntingnet does not sponsor it's advertisers, the advertisers sponsor HuntingNet!

RE: Huntingnet Promotes Hunts Behind Fences!
 

No thanks, not my cup of tea.

I might come down and look over the operation however never been to a game farm.

How about stalk up on one in a 5 acre pen with no bow? On second thougt it's almost a 6 hour trip one way. I still have the weekend to hunt with the bow so I'll be staying where I am.
