The blackbuck multiply quickly, that's why we were hunting them there at that ranch, to reduce the numbers. I wasn't giddly about it, but posted the picture in the restricted adults section, at the request of another member, maybe I should have just e-mailed it to them, as some may enjoy spreading such events for less than admirable reasons. Bambi is a cartoon character with human characteristics, not an animal, that is the point I was trying to make. It seems like you're saying a bambi is any little animal, born or unborn. I don't want to subscribe to that definition, I prefer thinking of Bambi as the actual cartoon character in the Disney movie and see no reason to adopt another definition. What I shot, was not Bambi, it was an antelope doe that had a fetus in it. As I said, the purpose of the hunt was to reduce their numbers on the ranch.
Why is cost always a factor? Because we have limited funds.
Ted Turners ranch hunts count in all the record books I know of, all the animals meet the criteria of living in the wild. As you seem to agree, they are not as wild acting there as other places. That's in fact, why I brought up the example of a low pressure private ranch, the animals often do not act as wild there as they can in other places.
I guess if you count the two sided high fence hunt as a high fence hunt and you in fact did go on it, then you are for, at least not opposed to, some uses of high fence. Is that correct, Bambistew?
Elk are naturally a herd animal, I know that. My elk hunts in Idaho and Colorado involved a lot of walking and sight seeing and no wishing for a corn feeder. What you assume and what you guess is up to you, right or wrong, assume and guess, all you want. I've never heard of anyone feeding elk corn in Texas. Corn is used to keep wildlife in the area here and to get them through droubts and other low food times, its not put in piles here.
In this case, and as per your question specific to P&Y, they no longer consider it fair chase.
