DIE THREAD DIE !!!!!!

In case you missed the drift of the responses YOU are doing nothing for US.

We all understand your point of view. Opinions are like belly buttons, we all have them.

There are plenty of ranches and farms that charge money and still offer a fair chase hunt.

Obviously you have never hunted Bison in the far West or upland birds in the South or Western middle West.

Let's move on PLEASE!

Everyone thought we had moved on till you opened your mouth. No I have not hunted buffalo, but I have been on 12 Guided elk hunts in western Colorado, both on public land and low fenced private land. Hunted black bear in the Nez Perce national Forest in central Idaho, thaty is all pulic land. Hunted musk ox and central canadian barren ground caribou in Nunavut, above the Arctic Circle, didn't see a lot of fences of any kind up there. The moose and woodland caribou hunt I did in Newfoundland was the same way, damn few fences. Two of the three pronghorn hunts I have done were on public land on of them was a D-I-Y hunt.

See, you do not know near what you think you do. You are plenty long on mouth and plenty short on knowledge.

As I said, you have never hunted Bison (not "Buffalo", that's generic term not a specific species) nor any comment on bird hunting.
I have probably been hunting big and small game longer than you have lived. Used bows (long, recurve and compound), smoothbores, handguns and rifles using all currently available ignition systems. I think this Elk killed at 18 paces with an 1809 Baker 61 caliber British Military flintlock is somewhat indicative of my skill (or lack of it). As we say: "You're not hunting Elk until you can smell them".
BTW, Sam Elliot you are NOT.
BTW #2, the Mac and Northern (shown) and the Grayling and Walleye (not shown) all qualified for the Manitoba master Angler awards (these are fiberglass replicas as I don't kill trophy fish)
Have to look for a pic of my 55" Dolphin (Dorado) also released as ones that big eat poorly.
You do fish, don't you ?





Now about Pronghorns..... LOL, as I live on the main migration route for the NorthWestern herd I have been on just a few "DYI" goat hunts, As I sit here I have seven mounts hanging over my head all shot on public land with no guides. The most recent was taken with a Don Brown Alexander Henry .452 percussion replica with iron sights at 90 paces after many unsuccessful stalks (it's called "hunting"). The WG&F fellow said he was the oldest buck he had ever seen. Belly crawling through sagebrush and prickley pear dragging a 10 pound rifle to set up a fair chase shot (at age 68) is a bit different than shooting one off an ATV with a 257 Roy at 400 yards.
As the old standard says: "you've come a long way baby, but you've still got a long way to go."
BTW, I always love the way you trolls assume you speak for "Everybody".

This entire thread is a waste of bandwidth.

Well, I just turned 62 and started hunting in 1967. Started out on dove/waterfowl and quail, then moved on to Big Game in 1970.

this thread was not about me and what I have or have not done, the thread is about shooting freak whitetails inside a high fence.

WRONG, that was not his quote but mine. Killed my first big game in 1958, a nice Whitetail doe on "doe day" with a 12 bore modified choke Model 12 with a plain old Foster Remington 1 oz deer slug.
Just a front bead and young eyes at 45 paces.

Think "Sam Elliot" has made his point beyond any possible reason to continue.

Taking it off "notify" maybe he'll get bored if no one bothers with the thread.

I could not be less impressed with a deer or the guy that shot it

Crazyhorseconsulting, flame away

Like shooting a very, very expensive cow.
