Pastor Joe's deer from World Class Whitetails of Ohio 470inch

I don't support anything that involves deer in high fences. I'll leave it at that.

 

Sorry but I 100% disagree....you post anything that was legally and fair chase taken here and the only gang ups that would happen is if someone dogs the person.

 

If someone want's to pay a ridiculous amount of money to kill a pen raised deer, so be it. No skin off my back. The shooter didn't post the picture bragging about this giant buck he shot, a friend of his posted a picture to show a crazy big buck. I'd have an issue if the shooter was trying to pass it off as something other than a high fence hunt, but that's not the case here.

 

Yup, I'll hate on him, pastor or not. The fact of the matter is I am disgusted with anyone who even goes on such a hunt. You're "hunting" animals in captivity.... do we all honestly have to explain the problem here? These high fenced farms shouldn't be legal anywhere.

 

So am I a bad person if I go to shoot pheasants at a game farm?

 

There's plenty of posts about baiting, minerals, plots, outfitters, leases, public vs private, broadheads, etc with people lashing at eachother and degrading about it. It's not always a 100% gang up but all of those topics turn automatically sided and bitter. There ends up being no decency in the conversations and lots just get locked.
If he thought it was cool and it was legal I don't get why it hurts so many.

This is the way I feel. I wouldn't go "hunt" a deer farm but whatever.
However this has got me thinking. How do you guys feel about fishing in a stocked pond?
Is it not basically the same thing? Just curious because I will fish a stocked pond all day long but I have no interest in hunting a high fence deer.
Like stated above, what about pheasant hunting a game farm?

 

Not the same thing. If you put a fish in a barrel and then fished it then we could compare it to walking in a pin of a pet deer and shooting it.


And for the people saying we are bashing hunters is ridiculous because nobody is bashing the man and no hunting took place here. A guy shot a pet in a pin. That's not hunting. It would be like me letting a friend come over and shoot my dog in its kennel. Not hunting. I support every kind of hunting that is legal. This wasnt a hunt.

 

a These made the thread for me. Especially TJ, dropped my phone laughing and got the strangest look from boss in truck.

As for everything else, pretty pointless. Don't really care how or why or what he calls it. Looks like a happy guy to me. Don't care bout anything else. Do find it funny though the people that spend all year putting out minerals or have timed feeders get all butt hurt over this stuff. If this deer was a spike I bet nobody would even care.

I'm not supporting high fence hunting but most of those places have several hundred acres of fenced in areas it's not walking in a pen as you put it and shooting a deer.. More acres than most have acces to hunt. So actually the fish in a barrel would be way off. Fish in a 1/2 or 1 acre stocked pond wouldn't have as much of a chance to get away as the deer on a very large farm operation. Your analogy is not even close to being supported.

 

I could care less if you support my anology or not. Its a hunting forum full of opinions. My opinion is that I don't think that is or should be called hunting. I mean if you think that's hunting then good for you....

 

To each their own when it comes to high fences. The only thing I ask of people is to be honest at the beginning as to whether it was fair chase or in an enclosure. Sure some places the animals could be as wary as those you would find on state land but for the most part we all know it's generally a much easier and at times somewhat staged hunt. The one thing we can probably all agree on is Pastor Joe is less likely to vote against another fellow hunter's right to hunt. That's what is important and these high fence places fill a void that some people aim to fill, instead of jumping across the lines and looking to take away our rights as hunters.

 

And this is more directed to the farms who turn a deer loose in a small area and someone shoots it. And don't say there aren't any like that because there are. It happens a lot.

 

I've been known to shoot fish then put them in a barrel.............. just sayin

 

I never said I thought it was hunting. I just asked a question that apparently you can't handle.

 

It sure cuts down on deciding which bait to use don't it.

 

I actually prefer my deer to be tied to a tree first. Then I don't have to track it after I shoot it.

 

Yeah man I got so "butt hurt" just then lol. Not once did you ask me a question that I couldn't handle. I respect your opinion on the matter. I just happen to slightly disagree that's all.

 

The biggest problem I have with high fenced farms and deer growing this big is that the deer are either being injected with something, or their being fed food that has something seriously injected in it. The "high fence" seems more like a labratory to me which is where I become bothered. (making an assumption, so if anyone ACTUALLY knows if this is true, by all means correct me--probably won't believe otherwise though)

In my opinion, genetically altering animals goes against a lot that i believe in. Do game farms genetically alter birds? Do they clip the wings so the birds can't fly away? I've never been to a game farm so truely do want to know the answer. However, back to genetically altering animals I think thats where we can't really compare fish ponds and game farms to high fenced hunting.

I plant food plots of foreage that exists naturally in the environment... i.e. clover. i don't inject my deer with HGH lol
