B.) His property in Mississippi has some absolute brutes. Huge deer year after year meet their maker to his arrows.

lame
You know that buck has been named and tracked ever since it was 1.5 years old. Probably 500 pictures of it before it was ever killed.
You really have to exercise a certain level of suspension of reality to enjoy a kill like that.

Guess he got tired of them killing “his” deer. 800 acres seems really small for an enclosure.

quote:I’m not here to argue the free range/high fence debate but those clubs that border his property like Woodlawn & Becks have been on management programs since the late 70’s early 80’s before it became a phenomenon. So it’s not like his neighbors were the “it’s brown it’s down crowd”.

Exactly.

Yea absolutely zero reason to have a high fence there unless you’re just really selfish about people shooting “your” deer.
ETA: Big Ben definitely has names for his deer, but usually it’s names like “Night Walker” or “High Hat”, not Steve or Bill.

Because before CWD you could get horse trailer full of deer from the Amish in Ohio and get northern genes fairly cheap without having to have a breeding program.

Sorry. It must go. Buddy heaters have been a gateway to poor behavior for the last 20 years.
May seem like harmless comfort but one day you're cozy warm and the next you're 20' up in a shooting house positioned in front of 150lbs of grain on the ground in the middle of a 1000acre deer fence sitting in a recliner shitposting people's 10pnt bucks on FB.

I use mine so that I can bring children and not have to pack 50lbs of clothes and blankets for them when it's cold. Even young kids can hunt when it's below freezing. Gives me extra days with them when I'd historically have left the little ones in the bed.
