Deer farming and high fence hunting is the absolute worst possible aspect of the hunting industry. It contributes nothing to the conservation of whitetails, and is all about making a profit. Farms and high fences are the sources of many CWD outbreaks in wild populations which can cause devastating effects on the wild herds. They say Blackjack is a multi-million dollar deer. Imagine what that money could do towards the conservation of wild sheep or other big games species that are struggling across North America, instead of being spent on a penned up deer so some guys in Texas can buy his semen or fawns to send to a high fence hunting area. It honestly shocks me that Keith Warren has a platform as big as he does in the hunting industry, considering is he the most phony “outdoorsman” I have ever seen in my life. I hardly ever see him spending his money on fair chase hunts that help the conservation of wild species, and instead helps fill the pockets of greedy ranches and farms. And to top it off, he does stupid shit like hunting whitetails with a .50 BMG, which is complete overkill for basically any animal in North America, let alone a penned whitetail. Natural wild life would be so much better off without these high fences and farms, and I’d love to chat with anyone who has to say otherwise.
There shouldn't be ANY high fence hunting allowed. If the deer can find a way off a property let him go. That's not hunting its killing. No reward in it what-so-ever. I see these huge bucks that someone paid $10,000 to kill at high fence properties and I'm thinking how there is any gratification or reward in killing a deer that way? Like .... you already knew you was going to shoot a huge buck and knew you were paying thousands to do so. Stupid! If people didn't pay the money then this kind of thing wouldn't even exist.
Not all high fence outfits are the same, but most are akin to hiring a hooker and then thinking you are a ladies man when you get laid. You are diluting yourself if think your successful kill had anything to do with hunting.

Not really freaks it's just breeding they only breed certain bucks to certain does and they give them good food. Bucks like this are harvested every year in the wild sometimes the right ingredients mix and you get your freaks.
Their necks look way too skinny to hold those racks. I’m from Minnesota and there’s nothing better than 6 year old mature big bodied buck with battle scars on his face. Even if he’s only 120 or 130 inches.
The wide BlackJack-type racks are sweet, but that massive "higher and tighter" rack with a much heavier mass on the monster at the 7.28 mark, to me, is by FAR one of the best bucks in there. That buck is AWESOME!
I see bucks like Blackjack and other genetically engineered deer, and all it does is scream "deer farm". To me, their racks reach a point of looking hideous. Looking at one that's been mounted, the first two thoughts that cross my mind are "What shooting gallery did this thing come from?", and "How many thousands of dollars did you pay for this thing?" I much prefer bucks who have expressed their full genetic potential through TSI, healthy, nutritious food plots, and well managed habitat. I do realize that in today's world, most people who command high incomes work so many hours that they don't have time to manage a hunting property in such a way that bucks, does, fawns, or other wildlife will realize their genetic potentials, so "hunting" in shooting galleries stocked with genetically engineered, pen raised, "mine's bigger than yours" bucks is about their only hope for bagging a buck. Not my idea of a good time, but it's their time and their money.
There are farms that only follow "traditional" looks. I remember seeing a show on youtube about that and in one segment it showed other categories. At the show/competition that the guy went to there were categories for traditional antlers and ones for more freakish antlers like this. So not all of them only produce odd deer.
@@billwhite7099 Yeah, these don't. That's for sure. But they're not bred to look natural. It's like saying a chihuahua doesn't look like a natural wolf. They're not bred to look like that.
@@boone172 yeah he’s selling them for high fence ranches but the deer in the video itself arnt being hunted I see the deer in this video the same way I see bulls breed to bull fight
@@cookingonwheels2695 I don't think that was the argument in the first place. He's saying that high fence hunting in general (the places where these bucks are sold to in order to produce offspring or to possibly be shot themselves) isn't proper hunting since they're still fenced in. Nobody is saying that they're shooting the farm deer in those tiny pens.
As a hunter who got one down last week….what is this nonsense? I’m commenting when there’s 80+ comments and through a quick scroll I didn’t see a single supportive comment. This high fence garbage makes us real sportsman/conservationists look like garbage. But I support businesses right to make money….so, do your thing I guess lol
As long as people that buy these deers don't claim they have hunted them I don't have a problem. It's cool seeing what can happen in the absolute best case scenario. I can understand taking pride in having your deer have the best antlers. A lot of work goes into getting the best of the best you can. But pretending like these are the same as shooting a huge buck completely in the wild is ridiculous.
They look like all summer time deer the mothers are busy feeding their fawns the bucks are busy growing antlers. Go anywhere and look at deer in the middle of the summer they look ugly and you can see their ribs.
Animal abuse, man's greed ruins everything, hopefully the people that do this & support this will spend the rest of their lives in jail, perhaps, then they will understand...
@@theorangevestarmy4255 I don’t hunt high fence or breed but I can assure you these deer are more well kept then a wild deer. They are worth millions. Of course they take care of them. Don’t be ignorant
I know I’m a party pooper and not a fan of hunting deer. Those are so magnificent, I could never do that. We have deer around the back of our home. More does than anything. It’s such a joy to watch them from my deck. Little fawns appear every spring. I’ve watch two bucks walk through to get water. We are on their daily route. One came up real close to our window. I never saw such gorgeous big eyes.
@@rebeccavise3513 You’d be surprised to find out that around 75-90% of hunters are eating the animals they harvest, you would be surprised how ethical hunters are

Amazing that they show a clickbait video claiming 5 million dollar buck then tell you where to go to manufacture a stupid buck like this. It’s torture to put something on its head that it’s neck can’t hold up comfortably. But he’ll do what ever it helps you make more money.
Literally look up non typical white tail deer, they have insane racks that make these look like nothing, and they are not bred, deer antlers are not heavy and they don’t torture the animal, In fact even the biggest ones don’t weigh more than a few pounds, the deer are fine, you can talk about the ethics of breeding them in cages and stuff, but the antlers are not a problem
@@samueljohnston9639 I’m not disagreeing with you that wild non-typical bucks have “insane racks”. Your chance of shooting a non-typical stud remotely close to any of these deer in the wild is almost 0. Also there is a video from this same dude having to trim antlers because the deer was having a hard time holding his head up lol. If knew anything about antlers or deer you would know that they are also full of blood which only adds weight btw.
@@samueljohnston9639 the king buck a typical wild giants antlers weighed just over 10lb some of these deer are walking around with +30lb racks on this farm easily
Everything that's wrong with the deer hunting industry; turning a majestic wild animal into nothing more than livestock, all because a lot of guys have been convinced that large antlers are somehow important or make one deer "better" than another. It makes me sick.
They keep the does separate to be fair. The bucks never actually breed with the does it seems. It's all artificial. So maybe that's how they get away with having so many bucks together. It also would be extremely expensive to constantly drug hundreds of deer each day or multiple times a day.
Do they sell the deer to hunt or to try an improve the deer herd on their property. I know if they breed to wild deer that might improve the deer herd in the area.
All this nonsense so a rich person can cheat at hunting. Anyone ever hear of fair game chase. This is not it. This is; “I have soooo much money, I can waste 10’s of thousands of dollars on a fake hunt and shoot a bread farmed deer in a fence that knows I’m there but don’t care” That’s not a real trophy unless you fair chase it. Cowards.
I get genetics r 50/50 but was told it’s the doe that is the primary makeup for the results. I’ve been to a deer farm in Wisconsin who indicated this. I’d b humble too with an operation like this n chuckle all the way to the bank. Remarkable to see success.
It's different when you completely LOAD a pedigree (family tree) with one specific male.. The females off him also have his genetics, so if they're bred back to him or another buck off him, his genetics get stronger & stronger as you go. Same idea as "purebred" dogs
People complaining about these high fenced "farms" but I see many videos where they sre building special food plots to enhance the "natural" growth, feeders that are graining or some could consider "baiting" the deer, and "blinds" that look like you are sitting in your heated house, watching for deer out the window, and when they show up, you just open the window and blast away.
I can see both sides, it's like bodybuilding humans I think it's amazing how far we can push our bodies, same thing for these farmed deer, personally I wouldnt pay big bucks to hunt them but people are...I still find them amazing to look at but I am like that with every doe fawn or buck the comes into my stand the day the rush I get watching deer and being amazed goes away is the day I stop hunting...others want to shoot big bucks and nothing but to each their own
there main goal is to breed these deer into wild! yes there will be those guys that will buy and kill them but we do the same thing with cows and chickens only thing different here is the antlers but the hunters killed the big ones out of the world they will only get smaller
So do you release them on your private property and hope they breed your local deer? I don't understand the purpose when they aren't eligible for scoring as with traditionally hunted deer.
These artificially produced antlers don't even look good. They're bulbous, deformed and so over-branched, you can barely distinguish what shape they originally were. Such a hassle for ultimately botched results, and such a shame to forcefully modify nature like this!
They stole the good hunting spot out in uvalde was no fence 100’s of deer before jw and them where lieing about what they stole like the cattle over by there they where throwing shoes at his ass because grandpa was a red cap and turkey was tryna help but they got away with everything after stealing that oil on the Jonny cash property they claimed they bought from the bank we proved different
Did you get it back this year yeah I did how big was it that was a 39 pointer 295 in say what yeah I went right down to the factory and pick it up it's cheaper that way
Holly smokes at the jealous people in the comment section! I say good for y'all. Go hunt the way you choose, but don't be jealous or down others that choose to hunt their way. Also, NOBODY is hunting the deer in this video, so to those Karens bellering about people paying to hunt these deer? Get over it, nobody is hunting in there. Y'all stick with your, If it's brown it's down BS, and you'll never have bucks around with big antlers. And let people like this guy bread them properly and produce what you'll never have.
Yeah except guys like this and the other idiots buying up huge pieces of land to high fence ruin hunting for everyone else around them. The high fences significantly impact the local deer and other wildlife populations from moving freely through the area. Seriously, there’s nothing worse than having property next to one of these high fenced monstrosities.
I am fine with this, no i wouldn't consider it hunting but i wouldn't mind having a mount like that regardless of where or how it was killed. It would look beautiful on any wall.
There's nothing better then seeing a nice whitetail buck in the wild whether it's a 4 point or a 150 class 10 point, but these Frankenstein monsters that are being genetically engineered are not what hunting's about. And these deer farms spread cwd across the country which gets into the wild population and ruin hunting for the average hunter that hunts to feed his family, not just want some freak set of antlers hanging on the wall. These deer farms don't care abouts the sport of whitetail hunting, they only see dollar signs and could care less what happens to the wild population of deer. They'd probably prefer to see the wild population disappear so you'd have to go to them if you wanted a deer to eat.
Basic genetics. You pick the ones you think look nice and make him the father of the next generation. By chance, a few of the kids will be even better looking than the father. a couple generations later and you have this. That’s how all the different dog types were made. All The dogs being dependents of the wild wolf.
The end purpose of deer farming is to grow enough big bucks to sell to hunt ranches where they are released into large high-fenced areas and hunted. Usually the very largest are kept at the farm for breeding purposes longer than the other. That’s my understanding anyway, maybe someone in the know can correct me or elaborate.
This is not normal. This isn't even wildlife. This is domesticated animals at a zoo at a minimum. I am an avid hunter. I scout. I hang stands and trail cams to fill the freezer with a buck I called in 30 minutes after morning light in the woods, not a cage. High fence hunting is a very good example of what I'll teach my kids not to do and not to grow up to be as a hunter.
Reading these comments… they aren’t hunting these dear. They are simply breeding and selling these deer to them in turn someone else uses them to breed and spread their genetics in their hunting ground…. I think it’s great and actually providing back to the deer population.
I hunt on non high fenced property and find nothing wrong with deer farming they don’t get shot in the pins they show you in the video and most high fenced ranch’s have less deer per acre than wild deer The farms also help research CWD and EHD, the deer are not genetically modified they are 100 percent whitetail deer they are just the biggest genetics bred over and over again, another factor with the size of the rack is helped by the high protein feed they eat and when released into a pasture the racks look a lot more natural and smaller
@ Ben Morrison what a joke! You mean their more than likely the cause of CWD and EHD. Because they DEFINITELY do nothing but spread the virus. Yeah, you may be right about them participating in the research of this horrible disease, but it's only because so many of their GD animals have it! Like the red stag that recently escaped a "BUY HERE/KILL HERE RANCH" that has CWD. I'm sure it'll end up infecting plenty of other healthy animals. Or do you mean like the other "BUY HERE/KILL HERE RANCH" where their going to have to go in and kill every single animal in the "FACILITY" because every single one is infected with CWD? And of course we can't forget about the nice and "HONEST" upstanding young man who just killed a once in a lifetime buck on public hunting land? Remember him? Oh wait a minute, that's right, he just said he killed it on public hunting land, but actually killed it at a "BUY HERE/KILL HERE RANCH a few days prior, then the loser actually had the gull to enter it as a buck taken from public land. So glad that these types of "RANCHER'S" know every single one of their deer on a first name basis, because it's how the dumbass loser got caught. I sincerely hope the judge sticks it to him just as hard as he stuck that (NON FREE RANGING) public Giant. What a damn loser! These animals are often drugged also, like it couldn't be any easier already? Nothing good, and I mean NOT A THING GOOD, has developed for the sport of hunting since these have came into practice. They've caused nothing but trouble and negativity, and they put a huge black mark on the face of the sport. There's a reason our sport is called "HUNTING" and not "KILLING!" If you can't actually hunt an animal, the fair way and the right way then get out of our GD game! Maybe pick up knitting or crocheting. Oops! Those might be bad for you also, it involves moving your fingers!!

Let me be clear tho, I have no issues with ranches selling FREE RANGE/WILD deer, the high fence industry I’ve always had a issue with. I get it, some of y’all have zero issues but how is it hunting if u know what to expect? You know what deer are the property and usually u get to pick thru deer like ur ordering from a magazine. I will never approve high fence,over breeding, money fueled white tail (or any WILDLIFE) hunting.
So do they release some of the deer for hunting? Or do they just keep breeding them? Like whats the point if not for hunting them? What’s the end goal?

@@raymondulrich8993 sadly by definition it is considered hunting but it’s definitely not traditional.

Not really freaks it's just breeding they only breed certain bucks to certain does and they give them good food. Bucks like this are harvested every year in the wild sometimes the right ingredients mix and you get your freaks.
@@joshsmith7176 no they are not harvested like that in the wild. Tiny little deer with freakish antlers. Not sure what fantasy world you're living in.

Why? if you or anyone you know has a domestic dog, do you feel equally as sad each time you see that dog?
Their antlers looked deformed and unnatural to me.
Fuku
Their necks look way too skinny to hold those racks. I’m from Minnesota and there’s nothing better than 6 year old mature big bodied buck with battle scars on his face. Even if he’s only 120 or 130 inches.
yep it happens very rarely in the wild feel kinda bad for these bucks
It’s cause they are
The wide BlackJack-type racks are sweet, but that massive "higher and tighter" rack with a much heavier mass on the monster at the 7.28 mark, to me, is by FAR one of the best bucks in there. That buck is AWESOME!
I see bucks like Blackjack and other genetically engineered deer, and all it does is scream "deer farm". To me, their racks reach a point of looking hideous. Looking at one that's been mounted, the first two thoughts that cross my mind are "What shooting gallery did this thing come from?", and "How many thousands of dollars did you pay for this thing?" I much prefer bucks who have expressed their full genetic potential through TSI, healthy, nutritious food plots, and well managed habitat.
I do realize that in today's world, most people who command high incomes work so many hours that they don't have time to manage a hunting property in such a way that bucks, does, fawns, or other wildlife will realize their genetic potentials, so "hunting" in shooting galleries stocked with genetically engineered, pen raised, "mine's bigger than yours" bucks is about their only hope for bagging a buck. Not my idea of a good time, but it's their time and their money.
There are farms that only follow "traditional" looks. I remember seeing a show on youtube about that and in one segment it showed other categories. At the show/competition that the guy went to there were categories for traditional antlers and ones for more freakish antlers like this. So not all of them only produce odd deer.
That's what I'm saying, none of them look the least bit natural.
@@billwhite7099 Yeah, these don't. That's for sure. But they're not bred to look natural. It's like saying a chihuahua doesn't look like a natural wolf. They're not bred to look like that.

@@cookingonwheels2695 I don't think that was the argument in the first place. He's saying that high fence hunting in general (the places where these bucks are sold to in order to produce offspring or to possibly be shot themselves) isn't proper hunting since they're still fenced in. Nobody is saying that they're shooting the farm deer in those tiny pens.
Real deer hunters do not care to shoot a deer with a ear tags and dollar signs not impressed one bit

You are not supposed to shoot deer with ear tags

As a hunter who got one down last week….what is this nonsense? I’m commenting when there’s 80+ comments and through a quick scroll I didn’t see a single supportive comment. This high fence garbage makes us real sportsman/conservationists look like garbage. But I support businesses right to make money….so, do your thing I guess lol
How much does f***** up as the buckmasters hunting tournaments for cash
As long as people that buy these deers don't claim they have hunted them I don't have a problem. It's cool seeing what can happen in the absolute best case scenario. I can understand taking pride in having your deer have the best antlers. A lot of work goes into getting the best of the best you can. But pretending like these are the same as shooting a huge buck completely in the wild is ridiculous.
This is FANTASTIC.
the types of feeds developed to maximize these deer help everyone understand nutrition
As a hunter: Holy sh.. this is dumb. Some goofy, over-compensating folks doing some goofy, over-compensating sh..
100% face palm
Its just incredible to see how big they can get.
It’s crazy to see how skinny and lack of muscles since they don’t have their natural day to day movements.
They look like all summer time deer the mothers are busy feeding their fawns the bucks are busy growing antlers. Go anywhere and look at deer in the middle of the summer they look ugly and you can see their ribs.
Animal abuse, man's greed ruins everything, hopefully the people that do this & support this will spend the rest of their lives in jail, perhaps, then they will understand...

I know I’m a party pooper and not a fan of hunting deer. Those are so magnificent, I could never do that. We have deer around the back of our home. More does than anything. It’s such a joy to watch them from my deck. Little fawns appear every spring. I’ve watch two bucks walk through to get water. We are on their daily route. One came up real close to our window.

Amazing that they show a clickbait video claiming 5 million dollar buck then tell you where to go to manufacture a stupid buck like this. It’s torture to put something on its head that it’s neck can’t hold up comfortably. But he’ll do what ever it helps you make more money.
Literally look up non typical white tail deer, they have insane racks that make these look like nothing, and they are not bred, deer antlers are not heavy and they don’t torture the animal, In fact even the biggest ones don’t weigh more than a few pounds, the deer are fine, you can talk about the ethics of breeding them in cages and stuff, but the antlers are not a problem
@@samueljohnston9639 I’m not disagreeing with you that wild non-typical bucks have “insane racks”. Your chance of shooting a non-typical stud remotely close to any of these deer in the wild is almost 0. Also there is a video from this same dude having to trim antlers because the deer was having a hard time holding his head up lol.

Everything that's wrong with the deer hunting industry; turning a majestic wild animal into nothing more than livestock, all because a lot of guys have been convinced that large antlers are somehow important or make one deer "better" than another. It makes me sick.

$ $ and more $
@@bobball3719 ???
I love whitetails!
Bucks of that size wouldn't be getting along 5 seconds when the velvet came off and when a doe came in they would get aggressive. They look doped.
They keep the does separate to be fair. The bucks never actually breed with the does it seems. It's all artificial. So maybe that's how they get away with having so many bucks together. It also would be extremely expensive to constantly drug hundreds of deer each day or multiple times a day.
Do they sell the deer to hunt or to try an improve the deer herd on their property. I know if they breed to wild deer that might improve the deer herd in the area.
No meat on them though, all skin and antlers! Would look awesome with some thickness to the neck and safer injury wise.

All this nonsense so a rich person can cheat at hunting. Anyone ever hear of fair game chase. This is not it. This is; “I have soooo much money, I can waste 10’s of thousands of dollars on a fake hunt and shoot a bread farmed deer in a fence that knows I’m there but don’t care”
That’s not a real trophy unless you fair chase it. Cowards.
I get genetics r 50/50 but was told it’s the doe that is the primary makeup for the results. I’ve been to a deer farm in Wisconsin who indicated this. I’d b humble too with an operation like this n chuckle all the way to the bank. Remarkable to see success.
It's different when you completely LOAD a pedigree (family tree) with one specific male.. The females off him also have his genetics, so if they're bred back to him or another buck off him, his genetics get stronger & stronger as you go. Same idea as "purebred" dogs
It's buck heaven its gotta be thank you for sharing .
There is no honor in this!!!!

What do you feed them for those antlers
how did you mount the deer every year without killing it?
Antler sheds with custom replica capes I’d assume.

People complaining about these high fenced "farms" but I see many videos where they sre building special food plots to enhance the "natural" growth, feeders that are graining or some could consider "baiting" the deer, and "blinds" that look like you are sitting in your heated house, watching for deer out the window, and when they show up, you just open the window and blast away.

there main goal is to breed these deer into wild! yes there will be those guys that will buy and kill them but we do the same thing with cows and chickens only thing different here is the antlers but the hunters killed the big ones out of the world they will only get smaller

Do you sell to state fish & game departments for research and/or stocking purposes?
, I seee tons of these in the high fence of poetry tx.

So do you release them on your private property and hope they breed your local deer? I don't understand the purpose when they aren't eligible for scoring as with traditionally hunted deer.

There's nothing better then seeing a nice whitetail buck in the wild whether it's a 4 point or a 150 class 10 point, but these Frankenstein monsters that are being genetically engineered are not what hunting's about. And these deer farms spread cwd across the country which gets into the wild population and ruin hunting for the average hunter that hunts to feed his family, not just want some freak set of antlers hanging on the wall. These deer farms don't care abouts the sport of whitetail hunting, they only see dollar signs and could care less what happens to the wild population of deer. They'd probably prefer to see the wild population disappear so you'd have to go to them if you wanted a deer to eat.

How do they make a rack so big imagine seeing that rack in the wild!
Basic genetics.
You pick the ones you think look nice and make him the father of the next generation. By chance, a few of the kids will be even better looking than the father. a couple generations later and you have this. That’s how all the different dog types were made. All
The dogs being dependents of the wild wolf.
You won’t!
Please tell me that they don't shoot these tame deer
Breed
They aren't hunters
No but they probably do end up selling a lot to high fence hunting places
The end purpose of deer farming is to grow enough big bucks to sell to hunt ranches where they are released into large high-fenced areas and hunted. Usually the very largest are kept at the farm for breeding purposes longer than the other. That’s my understanding anyway, maybe someone in the know can correct me or elaborate.
This is not normal. This isn't even wildlife. This is domesticated animals at a zoo at a minimum. I am an avid hunter. I scout. I hang stands and trail cams to fill the freezer with a buck I called in 30 minutes after morning light in the woods, not a cage. High fence hunting is a very good example of what I'll teach my kids not to do and not to grow up to be as a hunter.
how do you make their antlers so big?
Just imagine being out hunting and seeing any of those dear just out in the wild
If you do, some deer farmer is looking for them.
400+” deer is bigger than most elk 😂
I can't believe people are proud to farm these genetically modified deer.
Reading these comments… they aren’t hunting these dear. They are simply breeding and selling these deer to them in turn someone else uses them to breed and spread their genetics in their hunting ground…. I think it’s great and actually providing back to the deer population.
You're a clown. They're bread to be hunted by rich city people who want to pretend to be country
Awesome big bucks ty Keith for this video and Robert sir you have nice looking deer.
9:58 is perhaps the most bizarre 5 seconds of audio I’ve ever heard, especially when taken out of context.
I hunt on non high fenced property and find nothing wrong with deer farming they don’t get shot in the pins they show you in the video and most high fenced ranch’s have less deer per acre than wild deer
The farms also help research CWD and EHD, the deer are not genetically modified they are 100 percent whitetail deer they are just the biggest genetics bred over and over again, another factor with the size of the rack is helped by the high protein feed they eat and when released into a pasture the racks look a lot more natural and smaller
@ Ben Morrison what a joke!
You mean their more than likely the cause of CWD and EHD. Because they DEFINITELY do nothing but spread the virus. Yeah, you may be right about them participating in the research of this horrible disease, but it's only because so many of their GD animals have it! Like the red stag that recently escaped a "BUY HERE/KILL HERE RANCH" that has CWD. I'm sure it'll end up infecting plenty of other healthy animals. Or do you mean like the other "BUY HERE/KILL HERE RANCH" where their going to have to go in and kill every single animal in the "FACILITY" because every single one is infected with CWD? And of course we can't forget about the nice and "HONEST" upstanding young man who just killed a once in a lifetime buck on public hunting land? Remember him? Oh wait a minute, that's right, he just said he killed it on public hunting land, but actually killed it at a "BUY HERE/KILL HERE RANCH a few days prior, then the loser actually had the gull to enter it as a buck taken from public land. So glad that these types of "RANCHER'S" know every single one of their deer on a first name basis, because it's how the dumbass loser got caught. I sincerely hope the judge sticks it to him just as hard as he stuck that (NON FREE RANGING) public Giant. What a damn loser! These animals are often drugged also, like it couldn't be any easier already? Nothing good, and I mean NOT A THING GOOD, has developed for the sport of hunting since these have came into practice. They've caused nothing but trouble and negativity, and they put a huge black mark on the face of the sport. There's a reason our sport is called "HUNTING" and not "KILLING!" If you can't actually hunt an animal, the fair way and the right way then get out of our GD game! Maybe pick up knitting or crocheting. Oops! Those might be bad for you also, it involves moving your fingers!!

I am more proud of takin this buck than any buck I have seen in the short time I watch the video. Let me be clear tho, I have no issues with ranches selling FREE RANGE/WILD deer, the high fence industry I’ve always had a issue with. I get it, some of y’all have zero issues but how is it hunting if u know what to expect? You know what deer are the property and usually u get to pick thru deer like ur ordering from a magazine. I will never approve high fence,over breeding, money fueled white tail (or any WILDLIFE) hunting.
So do they release some of the deer for hunting? Or do they just keep breeding them? Like whats the point if not for hunting them? What’s the end goal?
They have clients that pay thousands of dollars to hunt them. Not much sport in it. What is not hunted I'm sure they sale the meat online.
