So I messed up my hamstring a little,sitting here watching TV instead of in a blind.
Watching O'Neill Outside ...what the **** ??
Here comes a really nice buck down the hill - he is excited,I'm excited and then - wait a minute what the ?? A big Yellow Tag in his ear and then the next one runs bye - a big Red Tag in his ear.
How embarrassing , what the hell are we doing to hunting - Now wonder all the Anti's have so much ammo against us hunters .
Don't get me wrong - I know the only way some people can kill a deer is if they are behind a fence - if that's what it takes - then that's YOUR problem - but don't put it on TV ... the Anti's see stuff like this and think we all are like this - its a **** shame !!! O'k - I'm done.That's just 53 years worth of hunting frustration coming out of me .

Tags have nothing to do with antis they don't care how where or when an animal is hunted, the fact is its dead and they don't like it. Apply this same logic to a TV show where the bucks do not have tags and that would imply that antis are ok with the deer that were killed on that show. I highly doubt this is the case, the show is not made for anti hunters so hell with what they think about it. I'm not really into either but I just turn the channel.

Growing big white tails is big business! You see it all the time. Lots of high fence ranches that cater to the "hunter" who will pay. I visited a deer breeder who had a breeder buck that was over 220 B&C. Most awesome deer I ever saw. But, it's not for me.

Believe me, those tags don't make those deer any less wild. Ive hunted a bunch of HF places and all the fences do is keep the deer inside, those deer can see,smell and hear you just as good as the deer on my LF lease in Comanche can.

On 99% of places that is a big load of hogwash. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Otherwise if YOU don't like it, then that is YOUR problem.

I realize this is a no win argument and I'll never change anyones mind, but if you break it down and think of it like this, what difference does it make if there is a HF?
1. Whether its HF or LF, are you not there to kill a deer? I don't understand why its so much more noble to kill a LF deer. Deer are everywhere, its not hard to just go kill a deer if you want to. Granted, its a nice accomplishment to kill a monster buck on a LF place, but even that wouldn't be that hard if more hunters were management minded.
2. With a HF, you are most likely going to kill a mature deer thats at its prime, and not some 3 year old ten point with 3 more good years in front of him like my lease mates do on my LF lease.
Agan, I realize I'm not going to change anyone's mind, and to each his own. We're all here because we love to hunt and we shouldn't give each other grief for any form of legal hunting, in fact, it should all be encouraged, and save that grief you want to give for all those anti-organizations out there

It's not just TV, it's this entire HF trophy farming culture. Just look at the outfitter and guides section here, most of the WT outfits have deer that are named and have prices. To me that is no different than Thompson Temple or any other livestock shooting operation, just more money involved.
I'm not for or against it, I just don't like how there is less and less viable public spots for meat hunting. Compare that to other states and our situation is quite sad. A man should be able to find a place to meat hunt without paying a fortune or having to network! The stories I hear about state land from my Michigan co-workers makes me jealous
just my .02

Guess thats part of reason I'm not much into alot of hunting shows. Granted I have and will agin hunt exotics and the large part of those are HF hunts, I avoid watching some white tail hunts on tv because I am a realist! Places I hunt rarely have 150-160 class deer and they are fair gamer with low fence. If you have place with room,genetics,and management it could be different. But the shows are high priced or are a quality operation where hunter is only a hunter.
Brayden (Lazy L's Southern Comfort) you will be missed! You were more than a pet you were my reason to rise and return for many days! You were my rock!

I love the eartag idea. Make it a rule that you have to put one on all the pets on the HF ranch and put the deers name on it, so we'd know what name to call him to get him to jump over on the LF side.

I do not care if someone else does it I just don’t. I do not believe it can be compared to going out on your own and scouting all summer to find a place you think will be the spot where yall will meet to showing up, writing a check, and getting brought to your stand and told "the deer you are looking for will show up between 0835 and 0850. He does it every day and sticks around for about 30 minutes. I’m going to go park on the other side of the hill and will pick you up when I hear the shot.
Before anyone starts saying that is not how it is, I went as a guest witn BIL and that is exactly how it went. Deer showed up right on time too.
Once again I do not care if someone else shoots a deer like that.

Once again I do not care if someone else shoots a deer like that. This is how I feel. People hunt these high fence ranches and it may be a 3000 to 10,000 acre ranch and they shoot a 200" deer and they act like they just hung the dayum moon or something. Thing is there was prolly 30 deer in there that were 200" and they passed up (4) 190's (7) in the 180's (10) IN THE 160s just to finally see that 200 walk out. Then they get their story on here and act like it was one hell of a hunt and man was it challenging. lmao
