HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY MILK-COW?

If we had the kind of money that hunt would take, we'd be hunting instead of posting on the internet.

Will you take the leash off first? Do they have names?

Low fence, dude, low fence.

Oh. After you corn the road, who will shoo the smaller deer out of the way so you have a clear shot?

Nice way to treat a fellow Ag, Moron. Unless you have specific info on this person, or the deal he is offering, you are kinda lame.

I would say you're username is spot on...

I've hunted South Texas. I know how it is. That's big money ranch land and those whitetails are probably on a protein and corn diet that could bulk up Reggie's ankles.

Call me what you want, but I don't consider that hunting. You're paying to slaughter a near-domesticated animal and there is hardly any "sport" to it.

I don't know the original poster and I don't want him to take any of this personally. This is an opinion forum and I'm just giving you mine. I am not anti-gun although I hunt almost exclusively with a bow, mainly because of how "hunting" those South Texas ranches made me feel about what really constitutes a challenge.

HEY MORON!
We are losing way to many hunters! If someone wants to hunt, well then by god allow them to hunt any legal way they want to...even if your MORONIC ArSE doesn't think it to be ethical...besides...he said "LOW FENCED"! I am not saying I like high fences, but they serve a purpose to get people who otherwise would not hunt to come into our sports! Hunters bashing hunters = NOT GOOD!

Pretty incredible responses from my fellow alumni........

Without being a full blown - - - - (male organ), I would say that I am highly disapointed.

I posted this only because I thought there were a few Ags that would like a chance at a trophy buck on my family's ranch. This is a pasture that we have intensly managed for the last 5 years...and we are very proud that our management techniques are paying dividends as far as deer quality.

Anyway....I just should delete this thread....seems like there are too many tree huggers that are offended.

By the way....these deer are wild as hell, and very smart.

Screw you Moron

Don't delete it. You may get some serious inquiries.

As I do the same, I commend you on your success in your management program and there is nothing wrong with doing a little advertising. You would think that fellow Ags would be a little more decent.

Urban,

don't take the thread down....Morons will be morons, please excuse them!
DS65

fair enough, I'll edit.

Screw you Moron aside from being that you're a complete di ck. I can't stand elitist snobs like you who think they are better than someone else because you say "I don't hunt managed deer". Isn't the important part about hunting the fact that people are getting out there and doing something outdoors? Spending money that helps habitat? Do the Outdoor board a favor and have a hug fest with Tred Barta this board doesn't need your negativity.

The people irk me on here that think it makes them cool or gives them instant credibility to jump on someone and tell them they're not a real hunter.

Moron, I "exclusively hunt with a bow" as well, and to take a cheap shot at fellow ethical rifle hunters when our hunting rights are being challenged EVERY DAY is pathetic. Rifle vs. bow, low fence vs high fence, it doesn't matter. Hunters vs PETA/activist groups is all that does. You are a coward sir, I would say that to your face.

[This message has been edited by natchamps39 (edited 11/16/2007 4:12a).]

Moron, it's better for people to assume you are an idiot, rather than open your mouth and prove it.

BULL-

Leave the post up. There may be many Outdoor Board regulars who interested in a hunt.

And for all of you who think high-fenced, well managed deer are easy to hunt and tame by low-fence standards, I can assure you that the best deer on most high-fenced ranches never get near a feeder in the light of day (heck, there are very deer coming to feeders on our place in Webb County right now).

The best deer we kill each year require many days in the brush trying to figure out where the old mature deer are roaming, building temporary brush blinds, sitting against a Mesquite wondering if you could find your ride without a GPS, trying to convince our kids why they don't really want to sit in the tower blind because the big deer don't come to feeders, etc. In 2006, I had the pleasure of hanging out with my 13-year-old daughter as she spent over 110 hours hunting a deer we had on camera (night shots only). She finally got him on January 5th. Tell her that the high-fence made her hunt easy. She'll probably have a response for you that is unbecoming of a 13-year-old young lady.

Leave the post up, BULL.

anyone who thinks you can just roll out there and take a huge buck is the real moron. it doesn't happen that way, ever.

nice job on the management side. those deer have a nice bulk to them in both body and rack.

How much dinero are we talking? Rough estimate.

Who will not be taken serious on this board again.......

Bull, do not take it down. If I had some more vacation time, I would be giving you a shout. Unfortunately my season is booked solid.

I replied to a post a while back about a hunt in South Texas and I was able to go on the hunt (low fence, managed ranch). Best time hunting I have had in a long time. Have faith my friend.

Get it on.....this annual mud fest is great for us mule deer hunters. Our season doesn't start until T+2 and this tides us over until then.

I don't think this thread has near the potential as last years regarding the posters 15 acres.

Let's go Moron.....You've got the floor.

[This message has been edited by sunchaser (edited 11/16/2007 8:54a).]

What kind of deal can I get on the one with the arrow in him?

only joking, sounds like a good chance at a great deer. I hope you get a fellow Ag to book a hunt.

Elitist? No, but I do hunt my prey.

Tree hugger? Far from it.

It's not up to me whether or not I am taken seriously on this board. All I am saying is that the number of trophy deer that are raised and feeder fed with corn/protein in South Texas makes me question whether or not killing one of them should be defined as sport. I figured I would receive some backlash for saying this on an Aggie board but I felt it would be a good discussion, not Aggie vs. Aggie.

If you want to pay $10,000 to shoot Brutus then you should do it. However, there should be a disclaimer under the shoulder mount displaying the price paid and method taken.

IN MY OPINION, I don't see how you can be proud that you shot a "trophy" deer because you paid a LOT of money to "hunt" with a guide on managed land for a weekend!!!!

Moron,

As a fellow bowhunter (and one who has never shot an animal over bait or at a feeder) I share your disdain for shooting deer with a rifle under a feeder. It's not the way I like to do things, but my hunting ethics are not everyone's hunting ethics and I'm not the ethics police.

That said, this isn't the place for that debate... we've already done it a dozen times on this board.

Point taken. I apologize to Bull for hijacking the thread.

Also, there is a huge market out there for your type of service so I doubt I affected anything. That certainly wasn’t my intention.

Calm down, Ags. To each his own.... Hunt your own way, so long as it is legal. Taking pride in what you do doesn't require taking someone else who does things differently down...

I think the patience and work and skill involved in archery hunting is impressive myself, and I also think that stalk or ambush hunts with no feeding or baiting involved gets closest to the pure spirit of the hunt, but you can't dismiss that our ancestors hunting for food would do anything they could to increase their own success rates, and guarantee they could feed their families. Not everyone has the time and money to invest in hunt after hunt with low odds of success, particularly if they hunt an area that is difficult to hunt because of the terrain, geography and geology, the available water and food sources, the ecology, etc...I can sympathize with them.

I'm NOT a big fan of developing the management to the point where we are blurring the boundary between game animals and livestock...we are getting ever closer to that in some ways, and THAT is something that the Anti's can use against the sport.

Moron,

The interesting thing is that many probably agree with some of your points. However, your fingers were directly pointed at Bull even though none of us know the type of hunts Bull is offering.

I spent 5 days hunting S Texas last year with no feeders (and my rifle). It was NOT easy (and I did not take an animal - although I did have a great week with dad).

Wes

i just think that at some point the rifle and corn is necessary. I have about 6-8 weekends a year to hunt. During that time I have to take more than 50 deer before the rut. That is very difficult to do with a bow and very detrimental if I don't get it done.

Saying that. All of my trophy hunting is down with bow. Not because it is better, but just because I like the idea more.

BULL - suggest you ask the mods to delete this thread and re-post your offer without the "ethical debate" hijack. If people want to debate corn/no corn, high fence/low fence, artificials/live bait, etc. etc. start a new thread and debate it.

I like to bowhunt as well, although I don't really hunt for deer anymore. But I also think that if every hunter in South Texas used archery as the sole method of hunting then there would be a major population problem among all types of game.

To properly manage a successful, healthy deer habitat, "harvests" by rifle are not only more efficient but also crucial to the maintenance of Texas Ranches.

As far as the purchasing of trophy buck hunts are concerned, The Deer Sanctuary in Michigan puts most hunts like that to shame. I think some people pay around $100,000 to kill deer out there. Unbelievable.
