It ain't nearly as cool as it seems.

I haven't been on a corporate sponsored big buck shoot yet, but I've done other corporate paid stuff and know quite a few people who did vendor paid trophy deer hunts. Nothing canned is fun at all. I'd rather shoot does at my own camp than 180" trophies somewhere else. There's zero sense of accomplishment in that. It's like hunting cattle, except the meat isn't as good.
