If it's legal and ethical in the place they do it, IDGAF!
I totally agree. What is, and what is not "ethical" though varies widely and is often the source of these disagreements.
This isn't directed at you Dillon....but to the thread in general.
The deer in the OP sounds to be a totally pathetic canned hunt deal. I won't say the ranch's business model is "wrong", as I just DGAF however not all high fenced hunts are that way. A classic example is when I spent 4 days inside a somewhat small fenced area in Argentina in 2013 hunting fallow deer. I believe it was around 3000 acres. There were holes in the fence that allowed some critters to come and go, but that is besides the point. I spent 3 days before I even saw a fallow deer, and finally on the 4th day I killed a young buck. Nothing special. It was a pretty tough hunt, despite being guided IMO.
Contrast that to the DIY dall sheep I killed this past August...yes I hiked my ballz off, but the critter was way easier to outsmart and other than the physical aspect, the hunt was WAY easier.
There's lots of ways to look at these things.
