i just think that if i had 1 million to spend on hunting, it would not be for a single whitetail.

I suspect anybody paying a million for that buck has no intentions of shooting him.

I just really don't see anything impressive about artificially grown sets of antlers.

I, on the other hand, am still impressed with antlers like this. So what if they had special care, special feed, and maybe some genetic engineering? It's kind of like a woman's bossoms. You can say all day long you prefer natural over implants but when the hit the light of day and you compare a 40D to a 40Long, the 40D is the clear winner.

Anyone who shoots a deer out of a 15 acre pen should be shot himself. Anyone who sells a deer to be killed in a 15 acre pen just needs a good old fashioned arse whoopin!

When were deer put up on that golden pedestal that made them more worthy than a domestic cow or hog? Who determined their saintly status that they should be afforded any more or less than any of God's other creatures? They are an animal. Just like any other except that they haven't been domesticated to the same degree. Who's to say that a coon or a possum or a skunk doesn't deserve the same rabid devotion of a select portion of the population?

I'm assuming you're talking tougue-in-cheek when you talk about killing or beating people because they don't subscribe to your partidular point of view. That sounds an awful lot like the extremeists that we're fighting in the Middle East. Places where it's legal to kill your teenage daughters because they date outside of your religion.

I don't want to hunt a deer in a small, high-fenced enclosure but that doesn't mean that NOBODY should be able to do so if it's legal and that's what they want to do. I don't like to shoot turkeys. So...nobody should be able to shoot a turkey? And if they do, they deserve to be beat or killed?

Again, I don't for a moment think you would advocate killing someone for shooting a deer like this but if you want to talk about fuel for the antis, they could change very few words (and we KNOW they wouldn't do that) and use your words to support their argument.

What if the man was handicapped who was buying the hunt? Had all kinds of trouble and been looking to hunt somewhere? What type of cover was there in that pen? If there's moderate cover the hunt could take several days to get the perfect shot on the deer. It's not fair to judge...

No apologies necessary. I knew that you didn't mean it literally. My only reason for posting a reply is that I know I'm not always right and even when I am, I may not be right for everybody (if that makes any sense).

As I've gotten older, I've found myself believing that we need less government, less regulations, less judgements. Of course there are some areas that are grey but for the most part, if it's legal, I'm not going to bash anybody for doing it. I fully agree with you about the 15 acre deal. We're on the same team with that respect. But, I only have that opinion for myself; if that's how you wanted to hunt, I wouldn't think any less of you as a person. Maybe as a hunter but not as a person.

We all have our own experiences; our own morals but if you look at past threads, you see stuff like "Well, I shoot a 243 for deer so anybody that shoots a 375 is a macho idiot trying to compensate for some other shortcoming". People just can't seem to say "Hey, I shoot a 243 but if you want to shoot a 375, that's perfectly fine for you".

I'm not saying that any of us should not voice our opinion. That's one of the rare things that no one can take away from you. I was just trying to say (and probably not too well) that often we try to voice our opinion and our wording turns it into a judgement.

My personal opinion is that we can have any opinion we want on any subject we want. I try to reserve judgement for matters that fall under the legal/illegal arena.

Maybe I've been to too many sensitivity trainings. If nothing else, I learned that my way is not always the best way and is NEVER the only way.
