Tony-Exactly how do you believe this mess will increase numbers in hunting?I emphatically disagree-hunting IS NOT a Gen-X, MTV, WWF event, it IS the solemn taking of a magnificent creatures life, and free ranging, not inside a play-pen.Mr. Farbman is truly attempting to do something good for hunting, I believe anyhow, but as with so many other things in life, it isn`t simply WHAT you achieve, it`s HOW you do it.

Its funny how off you people are.they are not darting. and I, was pessimisitic at first...yet...the fact of the matter is..they will increase numbers in hunting..WHA is something to watch

"You'll likely have a job at one of these hunting rags."Jeez, Mark, way to crush a fellow's hopes! ;)

The whole competitive, drugging deer tournament idea makes me sick. I am more in support of bass tournaments because at least it is a fair chase activity. A fenced deer has no where to hide. Ranch hunting is another thing that irks me. It'd be about as fun to kill a ranch-raised whitetail as it would be for me to put a record bass in a tank and then catch it. I'm only seventeen and i can appreciate the experience you gain, the humbleness you feel, and the excitement and pride gained from going out into God's wilderness and killing an animal with a bow-- while i rifle hunt, i prefer bowhunting as it truly gives the animal a fair chance.doubt anyone cares as my opinions are as useless as anyones, they won't change anything, but i felt i needed to add my two cents anyway.

Great, white rinos on crack. Next thing you know the prehistoric-looking potheads will be mugging the gemsbok to get enough cash for a quick buzz.

This whole mess is ridiculous. Hunting shouldn't be reduced to a pay per view sport. Money is taking away the average guy's ability to hunt. Rich people are tying up property, fencing it and charging outrageous sums to "hunt". Last week on "Track and Trail Adventures", Wally and the gang had their choice of 170 and above class deer. If you could write the check, you could shoot the deer. The only thing missing was the leash.Jim

I hope everybody enjoyed the concept of hunting as a sport for Everyman. Historically it was something the Aristocracy enjoyed. Common people used to get strung up for poaching so much as a rabbit. With the loss of public lands and the increasing prevalence of hunting leases, we are working towards making it something for the economic aristocrats only.
