Here here!!! About time! We're on page 3 now of a thread offering a "hunt", and everyone feels obliged to get on their soapbox and profess that THEY would not be interested in such a hunt. That's fine...then move on. There must be a market for such hunts, as witnessed by all the game ranches in Texas, South Africa, Namibia, Michigan, New Zealand, etc.

I think most of us do not object to them offering a shoot like this, it's the fact that he mis-represented it by saying you could shoot a B&C buck which we all know you can't do behind a fence.

He most certainly did not say you could shoot a buck that could be entered in the Boone and Crockett listings. He said, and here is the exact quote:
"Guaranteed 180BC or better buck for only $6,500."
He did not say you could enter the buck in the Boone and Crockett listings, therefore there is absolutely no misrepresentation in the original post. Had he said that you could, you might have a point, but he did not so you don't.

I hope that you aren't trying to say that no whitetail that would measure 180 inches under the B&C system could possibly exist behind a fence.

There must be some sort of twilight zone on this message board where people read things into posts according to their personal biases. I could care less whether you think such a hunt is ethical. If you don't, don't go, but don't tell me I can't use the Boone and Crockett scoring method, or any other method I choose to use, to score any head of any North American animal I choose to score. I can, and no matter what your thoughts are on the ethics of how I hunted the animal, you can't stop me from doing so. If I shoot a whitetail buck on some fenced preserve and decide to use that method to score it, that would be perfectly legal to do. It would decidedly not be legal or ethical for me to enter it in the B&C record book, nor would I want to, but if I want to say that the head scores 180 under the B&C system, that would not be either illegal or unethical.


Most of my money I spent on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted

quote:

First rule under B&C is that the hunt must be fair chase by their guide lines and behind a fence is not fair chase according to them. Therfore you can not use the B&C scoring system because the animal fails the first test. I know it's a technicality but someone who is in the business of selling deer based on their antler size should, and does, know this. The reason he used B&C is because it sounds better than using SCI.

Just for shits and giggles, maybe you could answer me this.




If I were behind a high fence and was able to take these coons with Jim Beam rather than grinning them into submission like Dan'l or Davy, would that preclude me from scoring them B & C.

Is that considered baiting even though my wife is feeding her animals? Do I need to go SCI?

but it seems a shame a fellow can't come here a post a legit offer, (whether you consider it a hunt or not) and not be subject to scorn and ridicule.

+1 Exactly.

All the people who are adding their "insights" should just shut the fuck up and go on to another thread. I wouldn't take this hunt, but many others might and that is their choice and their hunt.
