Ok, this is just for fun AND to only appreciate some GIANT bucks. Of course I would NEVER hunt in an enclosure BUT just look at these bucks. The ones that are MIND-BOGGLING are the 200" year and half olds. Sure, they are probably jacked full of nutrients and steroids BUT heck, still fun to look at.....

I do have my apple trees fenced in, I was thinking of purchasing a couple 300" deer to put in there even though it's only 1/4 acre.

*I actually would be cool with having some giants like this in an enclosure as long as you'd obviously never hunt them. It would be neat, SOMEDAY!
 
I'd rather harvest a 150" 4 year old off a plot that I planted than even look at those... Stuff like that will be the death of the sport...
 
Pretty cool stuff. I wonder if they can raise any big typicals or if they don't even try. These are so freakish they don't ven look attractive to me.

I can understand why someone would want to shoot one of them and admire the mount in their den. It's not for me but I don't think it will be the death of our sport. It is not even really related to "our sport" it's something completely different.
 
Thanks Iowa1, I was thinking the same thing. Ya know, back in the early 70's a bunch of people thought the compound bow would be the death of our sport also.
 
some of those racks kinda look like funnel cakes... other than that. I have to agree with sigh1 it is cool to look at the pictures and such but wouldn't have much fun going out there and picking which one to shoot then go pay a lot to take him home. Not fun but that is neat to see those pictures.

Some of those Texas boys are so hard for horn they introduce that kind of stock onto their ranches.
 
I "think" most of their goal isn't hunting them, it looks like they are MOSTLY into semen sales and stuff BUT yeah, obviously enclosure hunting ain't cool wherever it is. these are just cool to look at.
 
I got an idea...Instead of thinking this is the death of our sport, how bout it becomes the salvation of our state.

Instead of tranquilizing our deer and injecting them to make them sterile. Why don't the other states just purchase this semen and try to create their own impressive deer herd like Iowa has been able to do Naturally and with SMART laws, then all these non-resident landowners can pull up their stakes and hunt their own states.

I think having your own land and growing the deer that live on that land to their full (WILD) potential is a million times better than any of those bucks on that site.
 
Have any of you ever been to a quality run whitetail preserve?

Have you ever talked with the people that make their living off of such a place.

I have and I've chased whitetails on some of those places. Anyone that loves to watch big whitetails do what they do would really have a good time.

50 acre enclosures I have a hard time with, just like any of you would, and laugh if you want but I got turned around (lost) for about a half hour in a tamarack swamp on a 400 acre preserve in Wisconsin last year, and I might as well have been in Vietnam the thing was that thick!

It comes down to this.....if it's not your thing, great, but don't sit there and preach how bad a guy I am for going to such a place and enjoying myself. And if you think I'm some rich guy, think again....working stiff here, but I'm lucky enough to save a little to enjoy this once in a great while.

Is it the same as hunting wild deer....ofcourse not, but it's just something totally different.

Lastly (finally) I bet hardly anyone on this site has a problem with shooting hogs on a high fence operation...I don't....I suppose if you put antlers on pigs it would be different!

Sorry for the rant. Bruce
 
Didn't really mean for my post to turn into a preserve debate. I just thought the bucks were cool to look at. Just like that 400" deer called "Goliath" was cool to look at and you could at least appreciate it even though he's in a pen, not like I want to shoot Goliath or something (many pictures in magazines are captive deer- again, I don't care- not like I'm shooting them). Just wanted to appreciate some cool pics BUT I'll pry stay outta the debate (fine if you want to though) /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
 
I agree Skip they're fun to look at and I would love to have a 300" deer for a pet and feed apples everyday (I'm serious! That would be awesome!). But hunting a tame animal like that would never cross my mind, just not my idea of hunting. Besides, why would you want to kill your 300" pet? My dream is that monster genetics cross paths in my wild hunting world and I get a chance at a wild deer like that. Wishful thinking, but you never know!
 
Yep, and if I had one, all it would be is a pet. Charles Alsheimer, for example, has them. I'd say his are for research AND I bet you he enjoys them and might think of them as pets. That's what they'd be to me and I'd never kill one.

I remember some guy in south had a buck fawn he "found" where he claimed the mom was killed. Well, the DNR found out about it and killed the buck (euthanized it). I understand BUT I was p'd off!!! I felt really bad, killed the guy's pet!
 
Its been quite a few years back, but I was talking with a guy who owns Rain Crow Ranch, which is a high fenced property back in my home town about the deer in there. They had a buck that was 6 years old and was very smart. He would do everything that a free range buck would do, disappear from Oct 1 till around late December. They would get the occasional night trail cam pic of him, but other than that, they would never see him.

They had actually thought the first year, he got out, just turned out that he is smarter than the hunter. This is a 1500 acre incloser, so he had plenty of places to hide.
