Greenhorn, You found a bad one for me, I don't want to do that. This makes me wonder, they say they're all 6x6 and then picture a guy with a smaller one? Pretty wierd. I got plenty of meat and things to hunt here, its not for me, its turkey season here. I guess some people want to shoot an elk really bad or just want some elk meat, it still beats going to the grocery store, if you've got the money for the elk. Its still ok, to shoot an animal with me, and then get the meat, but that add is not for me. I'm glad that guy in the picture is smiling, he's probably thinking, "I just came here and shot an elk, whoo." Maybe in that state that kind of business succeeds, I don't know.

Sometimes, I just want to kill something. I do not always hunt for the meat, since there is some that I just don't care for and others that no one I know eats - ground squirrel? Coyote? Bobcat? We can talk all "high and mighty" about ridding the rancher/farmer of varmints damaging crops or whatever, but the truth is - they are ballistic jelly and most of us find it primordally satisfying to kill them.

Then again, there is hunting for trophy or meat - and I do both unashamedly.

Now that is the best argument I have seen on any of this....Good call Cali!!!

I think its a good call too, just wanting to kill something sometimes. I've seen guys hunt the whole season trying to get a good animal and don't connect. So, after the season is over they'll go to an exotic place and shoot a big fallow or axis or something like that. The exotic high fence ranches here in Texas are often open for hunting year round, so they're good in the off season. The antlered animals are not year round hard antlered but the horned animals are.

Tom are ya saying that a game farm gives those unsuccessful hunters something to feel good about? That cracks me up.

I bet the kids at UNLV, after another night of getting shut down by the local women, run out to the Mustang Ranch. Same principle.

I think they feel good about the hunting they did looking for a really big one, not shooting the little ones during the season. Then, I think they feel good about still getting something exotic to mount and to eat and to shoot after the whitetail season. There's people here that will hunt south Texas several thousand dollar leases per year for years waiting for a bigger whitetail than they have shot to date, but not shoot during the season because they'll let them grow another year or let their friends or business aquaintences shoot a smaller one they don't want. Then after the season they spend some money on a good exotic hunt and harvest that. They feel successful at both and are, they shoot only big stuff themselves, and will let guests shoot the smaller stuff that needs to be shot. Some of them are like that, some of them are like you're thinking also, frustrated by not finding a whitetail, so they go shoot some exotic, the first one they see. There's more of the first kind, on the big exotics though, because they take more money. Just based on my experience here.
