Re: Ever Been On A Canned Hunt?

I'm going to have to agree with others. Hunting essentially penned animals holds no attraction for me. To me it's neither hunting nor sportsman-like. It's more like slaughter for entertainment.

"King Of The Hill" had an episode about this several years back. Hank wanted to take Bobby deer hunting, and when they got to the "lease" it was all pre-packaged with close-proximity stands and feeders. Both agreed that it wasn't right and ended up leaving without shooting the captive deer.

It's not really a hunt if you're not actually hunting, and this is one of the reasons I've not gone big-game hunting yet, only bird hunting. I'd love to go, but finding a place to really hunt generally means you need an unmanaged lease or have a friend with property that you can hunt on. I haven't got the money for a lease, and don't have any friends reasonably local with suitable hunting land. :grumble

EDIT: flintknapper's post describes a different situation than what I'm describing, and I would agree with him. 250 square miles is far from a pen, and would be quite a bit more reasonable. I still can't afford to go to those places, though.
