Moosie.. Here are some quotes from this thread, maybe they will give you an idea as to why this gives me a bad taste.
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>The owner of this place has a photo album of the bucks there. He decides what year, he'll let people shoot them, but he discusses with the hunters too, to decide.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>He has buck deer hunts starting at $750 for a cull buck 8 pointer less than 16 inches in spread and goes up to $4500. My hunter from last weekend and this coming weekend is probably going to get a $4500 one, but shoot it next year when it is 6 1/2. The deer he liked is only 5 1/2 this year, so he'll hunt him next year <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>I got a 16x camera. We sit in blinds, they work pretty good. We throw out corn too. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>I know a guy who put out 500 lbs of corn during deer season <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Its more like what you probably saw on TV than the normal hunt here.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>The wide 12+ point one can be shot this year. He was a 9 point last year, but an 11 point the year before. This year, someone will shoot him for $4500 probably.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Guide duties: open the gate, gut the animal, help get him to town, collect the money, trail the animal, watch the shot, throw out the corn, drive the hunter around <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> I got a kidney stone from dehydration a few years back, doing this so much. It was then that I learned to put bottled water all over the place on the ranch <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Damn I think I will do the same back in the wilderness area
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Hey 280, what do you think of the Texas state record archery buck? I posted a link to a story on that. It scored over 230. It was a real hunt, walk in, no bait, bow, public land, and its the state record. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
so are you saying the other hunts aren't real???
