Texas style hunting has come to Colorado. Super wealthy buying up tens of thousands of acres and creating a family hunting compound and keeping the locals off. Putting out food plots, enhanced feeders, and manipulating the gene pool. Never cared for this type of hunting, Au natural is more my to my liking. Hunting in this state is mostly all about $$$$ now. If this doesnt convince folks that purchasing your own property should be a priority, I dont know what will. Our kids will see the day that only the wealthy will be able to hunt UNLESS you already have your own spread...sad, but true I beleive.

Nobody here hunts on someone else's land for free. Leasing hunting rights is what I grew up with. I'm 56 now. The "locals" have not hunted private property free here either. So, they arent being kicked off when a property sells as they were never allowed there to begin with. You westerners are spoiled by all the public land you have available out there that enables yall to keep it "au natural."

First if you have to hunt over bait you need a lesson on hunting.JMO Second if I paid to hunt their and then was told not to kill the big one,I would be like what`s the point.I liked the whole deer hunting thing more when I was a kid and we had a blast killing 100 inch deer and everybody hunted on everybodys ground.Hardly evan remember seeing posted signs then.It sure has went down hill I think. Yeap!! Or a deer that has his head buried in a pumpkin or rutabaga patch over a bait plot. Lol Interesting and glad the skipper got hung.

After your first sentence, nothing else you typed really mattered. As slamming other hunters method of hunting is the biggest reason hunting has went downhill. JMO

The craze for large antlers and stroked ego's has done more damage to hunting traditions than anything else. Michigan is a great example.

Ego is a enemy of any man or women,,, whatever reason to hunt or trap conversation should in the forefront of your thinking . Killing or harvesting is just a small part and least part of it . Imo But in this results driven society it's getting more and more attention to bad. Imo.

To each his own. Spike buck every time,,,, a doe makes more deer. Like killing a spike bull eats way better than a cow unless a yearling.

... let the record show that 52 Carl likes his wide and massive lol
... as far as this south tx nonsense goes... I always hoped it wouldn’t make it east but it has
.. and to those talking “division “ ... I’d rather raise beef if I’m going to raise anything... hunting isn’t animal husbandry
Insert profound nonsense here

Not my cup of tea but if these wealthy land owners are willing to spend millions to provide fencing, feed, stands etc. for those that are willing to pay those kind of funds to shoot semi captive whitetails, it is an opportunity that some can use. When I was a kid we had deer come to the salt block for the cows in our barnyard and often thought what it would be like to sit in the silo room and dust them off. None were of the scale and quality that were on those photos but to me the methodology is similar. The MLB considered asterisks by the names of those who they could prove were using PEDs. Do the trophy hunters need to have a system where by farmed andfenced wildlife is recorded.
Bryce They already do.

The still picture of the buck is not not all that impressive to me. It has a lot of points, but it lacks spread and the mass isn't there either. It scored 208 so there's that. The point is that the buck would have been world class in two years, when it would have reached its full potential. And by the way mass accounts or an average of 12% of the score and spread almost nothing. If you have a buck that scores 200 with a 18 inch spread, take that buck and give it a 20 inch spread and now it scores 202.
