There really doesnt have to be a significant number of people. Say one of these things started out at 10,000$ to kill(not hunt), theyd only need to have 10 of these to make 100,000$ off of just the killing of the animal. Add in the other "fees" and costs of those traveling to the "game ranch" and staying there 2,000 for the trophy buck hunts i mean, it doesnt take many customers to make this a lucrative venture...... you can see why this gets the kind of attention it does on these "outdoors" channels.
Personally, i feel that these kind of ranches my not have caused the spread of deer disease, they certianly aided it.... the first documented cases of cwd in my state were from deer farms and hunting ranches......
how would you know what size buck your shooting? i.e. a 140 instead of a 150...
is there someone in your stand giving you the green light to shoot? if so that's even more pathetic.
I thought the same thing. So lets go pick a beef cow and shoot that, how is it any different.... lol
