5000 acres isn't squat for an elk. This was nothing more than a canned hunt. The B&C club agrees with me as well.
Sorry but yes,a canned shoot. Nothing more nothing less. If you broke a sweat climbing off a horse to shoot does not change the facts. As some one else said they could have had the same hunt on a ranch elsewhere and the animals would have been free range. However they have groceries in the freezer. JMHO
I mentioned a few ranches earlier that many people hunt yearly. They are all "free range and fair chase", but most of the elk are born and die on the same property. A few of the ranches have full time biologist to manage the elk for hunting.These ranches have ran 100% success for years.
Are these really that different?
I completely agree that high fenced hunts are not eligible for B&C or P&Y but is an animal that came off a ranch like this "equal" to an animal that was killed DIY on public land? I guarantee the bow hunter that kills a 375 bull on public land DIY doesn't think so.
Sometimes I think we are our worst enemy, not the non-hunting or anti's.
