Gotcha. I guess I read too fast.

I agree with Dan someone hunting with an outfitter/guide I see nothing wrong with it.. The other case no way can I agree with that...

I personally think it's BS. Never used an outfitter or guide and never will. I'd rather go without than to be told what I can and cannot shoot. Whenever a "hunter" hires someone to do all the work, that to me is not hunting. To me hunting is finding a place to hunt, scouting, setting up stands or locations, preparing for the worst and best, getting your gun or bow ready, etc. This is just my 2 cents worth.

I have never used one either but, in New Brunswick, Canada any outside hunter must hire a guide in order to hunt there.. So hiring a guide is not that bad if you want to hunt in Canada is it? That is their law so if the deer are wild and roaming free, so what it is a matter of choice..

Sooooooooooooo, if a guy wants to pay $10,000 of his own money he earned to shoota deer he agrees upon with the outfitter before he takes the shot, that's wrong? Mind you, I never heard anything about high fences in the original post??? Just that the guy was paying a lot of money to shoot a certain class buck. Now that's not the way I choose or care to hunt - letting someone else tell me what I can and can't shoot - but if a guy wants to do that, more power to him if its legal and not in a fenced enclosure. His money, his way of hunting.

Imust sayI have never had a desire to hunt Canada so I don't care what laws they have or pass. I'm talking the good old U S of A. If you or anyone else wants to hunt out side the US, go for it, hire a guide or whatever you have to do, that's fine with me.It just isn't appealing to me.

I'm not talking about an outfitter that helps you get on game.I'm talking about the type game ranches that bring in a client to shot a trophy game animal but not "hunt" it.you know like hey client which one do you want to shoot? I want to make this perfectly clear I would not hesitate to book a hunt with outfitter that cold give me the chance to hunt a trophy whitetail in fair chase conditions. I know I will probably never kill a true trophy in my hunting area.

Chucker, don't misunderstand me. Hunters can spend their money any way they like. It just isn't for me. If I came across as a hard a#s I didn't mean to. It just my opionion.

Sorry I missed uderstood, I think what you are reffering to is what I call canned hunting and that is a big NO-WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the wayI see it too but, a lot of people do, and go after large trophy deer that are wild. They do not always score either but, they still like to go..
