Although I have a number of respectable trophies (none over 130, if I were to guess) I am as proud of my four point I shot this year as any. I spent time over two years scouting state forest, game camera work, and plenty of winter tracking to figure out the local deer movements before I got a chance.I shot a 205 lb 11 pt 41/2 year old four years ago which is my best deer, but I stumbled on it by pure luck. Only deer I ever had mounted, but I certainly didnt earn it. I would rather go fishing every day for a week and get skunked, rather than buy a fish sandwich at McDonalds.The "hunter" obviously can afford the price for the hunt, but would he still if he understood the ridicule and disgust that "real hunters" feel about his and the "outfitters" actions?

Genetic engineering, bovine growth hormones, steroids, supplements, 24/7/365 feed, water, and only scheduled "predators", that's the recipe.
Tough to make a living growing regular deer
Even tougher trying to pass it off at anything approaching fair chase.
