First High Fence Hunt - Folks it’s BS

[AvidIndoorsman]

So COVID and such... broke down and went the high fence route...

I’m racked with guilt.



No packout, ridiculous prices, nothing with character, just a field of bar codes...


I don’t care what you say it’s not hunting, it’s a harvest.

It's ok. Just select good cheese. mtmuley

Sickening. Guessing they all had nicknames and the owners knew their exact age?

I'd rather take a dink like this on my own than pay for a "trophy."

First time I've ever seen a tree waterer that small.

Might as well have any exotic and hit the bonzai stand at the mall on black Friday

It can also be used to drink beer, rumor has it.

Oh come on man, for the price you just paid for that tree you probably could of had a llama for a day...

$25 more than I paid for a llama this year

Us too. Our friend group Christmas tree hunt got canceled days in advance due to covid

am I horrible person for having thoroughly enjoyed driving ten minutes down the road, pointing at the one I like, being given a slip of paper to go inside and use to pay, and then coming outside to find the tree wrapped up in the bed of my truck?

Good genetics in those trees. Those boys and gals do it right down there, though I’m told it has everything to do with feed and habitat

I’m worse than all of you. We’ve been using the same stupid fake tree for 5 years.

Seriously, I didn’t really understand how lazy people were. I got weird looks for have my own straps.

Hell of a tree though.... and stays up with just the stand which blows my mind, I always have to wire mine in usually.

That’s 5 years of history you have. Definitely can’t get that from a high fence hunt.

I hate to say it but my esteem for you slipped a bit.
It’s guys like you who make it possible for concentrating trees and that overcrowding is the perfect environment for pine bark beetles infestation.
You are probably single handedly responsible for the near extinction of white bark pines.

I’m not trying to wake you guys up, but the thought of killing a strong, living tree to use as a decoration for a few weeks, then toss out at the end of the drive for the garbage man seems very unethical and quite frankly disgusts me.
This is why I only use a very real “fake” tree comprised of 90% recycled materials.

You could probably pull out your kill kit and use the Gerber DTS tendon tool for the final trim.

We need to get after this before ranching for conifers comes to Montana.

Brutal! Although your tree looks a heck of a lot better than our public land DIY tree. Maybe there is something to this high fence thing....

Was it good feral cat habitat?

I'm having a hard time telling if this is sarcasm, but it's funny either way.
