My friends buy new trucks/atvs/cool expensive stuff all the time and I dont post it up on a hunting forum.

 

That's hilarious!

 

Jealousy has nothing to do with it.

This is a hunting forum.

Not a home decoration forum.

 

From their website....

"@ James- We have several specials running this week. Just to give you an idea one of the is for our 190-205″ regularly $8,900 and this week $6,900. Please feel free to give me and I’ll be happy to go over the other specials with you. We are booking up fast and these special only run for this week. Last night we had a hunter that shot a 480″ buck. It was amazing and such an exciting sight to see."

 

But wait! If you order in the next 30 minutes, we will throw in this free QDMA hat!

 

Oh I definitely get the point here I've never hunted high fence an dont intend to lets just say I wouldnt burn any vacation days just to do it wud have to be under the right circumstances really when I hunt I hunt hard as I can I been working the last 3 months to make sure of a fall harvest so I get it I get it all fair chase for the OkieBowHunter

 

And if you order in the next 10 minutes you can have your buck walked in with a leash while you hunt from your bed!

 

And a set of ginsu knives

I would hate to carry that mass around all day WHAT A STRAIN!!

 

My buddy cuts the younger bucks antlers off once the velvet falls off. Keeps them from hurting themselves and others.

 

You know that's a fair point about spending money to kill deer. The difference between the tens of thousands I and my landlord spend every year and 20-30K for a high fence deer is that we're growing several herd on several properties and turkey and quail also. Like it or not we're also improving hunting for miles around from the improvements we make to the herds. SO the thousands we spend does a hell of a lot more per dollar than the purchase of one un-natural buck that is genetically altered to live a life of torture in captivity. To make it worse they learn to trust and depend on their owners and then get betrayed to be shot while waiting to be hand fed...probably a merciful act to be honest. No animal meant to carry at most a couple hundred inches of antler, should have to walk around with their head slumped because of growing 500".

God bless the folks that enjoy what they do but if they have to rely on my money to fund them they better find another source of income.

 

Do u even have to purchase license an tags to go in an kill those deer?

 

Well been a intressing form none the less lol but all in all no matter what I dont think anyone should judge anyone. Or make fun of someone or there deer they killed. This man is a Pastor who has cared for people all over the world and you poke fun? Its my mistake to share a Freak of a Whitetail so it surely my fault. You see you judge without knowledge of a man who has spent 100,000 of thousand on feeding the poor in africa and giving 100's of jobs in louisiana but you look only at him killing a deer he didnt pay for from a farm you JUDGE and in that you are judged. I Pray everyone have a Blessed year hunting!! Be Blessed

 

No disrespect intended at all on my part an may god bless u too sir good hunting to ya

 

None taken Jeffery God Bless and Good Luck buddy

 

Thanks for sharing. Be careful though, I think high horses come with a safety warning.

 

Since we're on the topic of fenced in deer, here's a pretty good story of an experience I had with a pen-raised deer.

I've got a buddy that raises deer to sell to these places too. He lives about 2 miles from me as the crow flies. A big storm blew through the area a few years ago in October and all his bucks got out. The 1 and 2 year old bucks came right back looking for food. A couple of 3.5 year olds didn't. Both were around the 200" mark. I was bowhunting a few days after they got out. Saw a deer walking down the fence line right toward me. Then I saw the rack and thought BOONER! He walked into range, turned his head and I saw the big white ear tag. BUZZKILL!

I called my buddy and told him his deer is standing 40 yards from me. He told me to shoot him. I could've, but I didn't. It just didn't feel right. The buck ended up bedding down, right there, 40 yards from me. I told my buddy to come over with his tranquilizer gun and see if he can capture him again. I talked him down the hill to within 30 yards of him and he was able to dart him. The buck went to sleep pretty quick, we loaded him in the trailer and put him back in the pen. We scored him while he was asleep. 196". I was guessing 170's when I saw him walking my way.

Which makes me think about a buck I missed back in 1996 in southern IL on public land. I shot over his back at 26 yards. I guessed him to be about 180". "Did I misjudge him? Was he really 200"?" It haunts me to this day!

 

I guess in my book its best to under score a book just incase you miss so you'll be a little easier on yourself lol Kind of like missing a big bass in fish you know it was huge but you meantly tell yourself it wasnt. But good story

 

Great Story BuzzKill lol I bet u wish that tag wasnt in that bucks ear
