I thought this was going to be about the monster 270 inch shot in North Texas that's been discussed on Texas bow hunter for the last couple of weeks.
Tne problem comes when some folks think 10,000 acres is a pen.ttha_aggie_09 said:NRH ag 10 said:

True canned hunts, yes. No one should shoot a deer in a "pen"

Does a low fence matter when you can hand Feed wild deer in canyon lake or Austin or wherever else? Deer can be wild and still behave very similar to penned deer.

No way should a pen-raised deer every qualify for any record.

You might not but if some "City Slicker" with a lot of money and no outdoor experience does, who cares?
The more that support conservation the better. It sucks to see canned hunts and deer like this get "hunted" but if it adds more people to support the outdoors, I'm okay with it.
The question is, at what point do these types of ventures erode support more than they add to it. Outside the State of Texas (and maybe even there) these menu-board type operations turn the general public off and provide more anti hunting fuel than they do pro hunting support.
It's the guy carrying an AR into HEB scaring soccer Mom's just to prove he can. Nothing legally wrong with it, but they're not helping the cause.
Here's what I have read so far. TPWD currently is holding the carcass of a potential state record taken in North Texas.powerbelly51 said:Furlock Bones said:

photographers generally don't want their subjects squinting. it's better to have the light behind the subject, and then expose for the shadows.Kenneth_2003 said:
That's what the Doc said... Light behind the Photographer, which is light in the face of teh subject.
Oh and that engineered freak is ugly as fook!
yea, it's not looking good for the guy. by most accounts on there, he's a good guy. unfortunately, big horns make people do stupid things.Sean98 said:
Ewwww... that sounds messy.
I've followed along somewhat over there about that buck. It's not sounding good for the guy. Here is the buck. Denton County, supposedly scored 271".Furlock Bones said:Here's what I have read so far.

Picture was posted on FB and then to texasbowhunter of a guy that posts regularly on there.
Turns out he made a bad shot the first night and saw the same deer 2 days later and made another shot.
Multiple things in play right now.
1) he may have been hunting an area he didn't have permission to hunt
2) the 2nd shot seems to have come well after legal shooting hours
Unfortunately, the threads keep getting deleted.
That was my first thought when I saw the pictureBlue Duck said:
Give me Lynyrd every day of the week over that thing.

hunting operation.
Or maybe "guy from church" wasn't the hunter, and he just snapped a quick pic to show his buddies. Don't eeeeeven say you wouldn't...ttha_aggie_09 said:
Why does everyone suck at taking pictures with or of deer? Jesus... this is some monster (although I hate non-typical deer) and you tie a rope around it's antlers and take a picture in front of two ice makers... really?
We need a how to take pictures with your deer thread
For public consumption, "harvesting" is often used, even where fair chase occurs, it being more PC and all. "Killed" or "shot" is just for us NeanderthalsAgEng06 said:
To be fair, that post isn't misleading in any way. They don't use the word "hunt" and actually say "harvest" as you would for livestock. As far as I can tell they are representing it like it is.
Need more info on this! I'd like to hear the actual story here. So dude wounds a buck, never finds it, goes hunting it again, after hours mind you, and then stick another arrow in him?
