Sickening!

Oh, I thought you were talking about all of the HF Whitetail spots in the midwest....


I don't think of this as much of a hunting thing.....but an entrepreneurial thing.

Raising animals whether for food or whatever they have always tinkered with genetics. To each their own, I don't understand why someone would buy a $120k car...but then they don't understand why I would sleep on the ground in the woods for 10 days at a time either.

pretty pathetic for the so called hunters who actually are willing to put out that kind of money for a beef cow on hormones in a pen. but then turn around and call themselves a hunter.

Every once in a while there's a story that makes me glad I'm not a 1%er..............

And then the alarm goes off.

States do that with fish(bass). What is the issue?

 

[MAT]

Those fish are generally sterile so there's no risk to native species.

I don't have a problem with this but they should remove the term "hunting" from the entire article because it is not hunting. You should listen to a couple of podcasts Joe Rogan does with Jim Shockey and Steve Rinella. They talk about high fence hunting operations in South Africa. They explain the need for them due to poaching and other local wildlife problems. Some of these ranches are 10,000 acres plus. Both podcasts opened my eyes to the whole situation and made me look big picture. Granted this is something different.
