What's the pits is people are actually willing to pay huge money for crap like this. I wish I were closer and had a good set of bolt cutters. [:@]

Yep guided. The only guiding you would need is to find the door to get in the fence![][X(]. A couple rattles of the feed bucket and you would have your buck.[:@]

Those are most likely all deer farmers bidding against each other.

It won't wind up costing them hardly anything and then they will use the sale and number of bidders as "proof" there is a market out there and it is a commonly accepted practice.

Scouting out a nice one



Finding deer sign and learning to read it.

Their web site has a testimonial from an 11 year old who shot a buck and called it his "best hunt ever". Apparently this kid has also killed mulies, antelope, and Elk!! Wonder if his daddy wants another son......

Yes I noticed that.

I wouldn't give more than 50/50 odds just how "Amish" it is or isn't.
Doesn't even matter to me. It could be Catholic or Babtist for all I care.

It's a scam for jerks, run by jerks any way you look at it. All that matters is people who use it and people who run it don't give a crap about the outdoors, the deer herd or hunting. That makes them dangerous to a sport I love and for that I despise them.
