Trophy Hunts: $9,500-$12,500 for pen raised deer. You can keep fenced in animals.
The best part of the picture has got to be then the gun.
Nice Work Jared!!!

$30,000 plus I.V. fertalization + High fenced ranch = Unimpressed!
I get it... People paying $10,000+ for a hunt want results, and braggin rights!
Is it legit... IMO hell nah!

Re: Another big buck for 2012
Ginger (the rifle) has taken well over 20,000 inches of bone. Who ever said the 284 was a slouch never hunted with one set up correctly . There are lots of customers who don't even bring a rifle up there b/c they plan on hunting with Ginger. I wasn't much on high fence til I got inside one ;-)

20,000 inches of pen raised bone?? That is still 100 200" deer. Quite impressive, bordering on unbelieveable... hard to imagin dozens of "hunters" not caring to bring thier own rifle when paying that much for a hunt....

Beautiful Animal!! Too bad shooting game in a fenced ranch is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Re: Another big buck for 2012
I have to agree. It is a very nice deer but it is only that way because it was unnaturally bred to be so, protected by a high fence,and fed unnatural food. Not that impressive when you add it all together.

Re: Another big buck for 2012
Well I'm impressed either way.
I'm an avid bowhunter and rifle hunter. I rarely even shoot the little piss ants we have around here b/c I don't see the point unless it's a slick head. That being said I've never found myself raising my nose at a giant whitetail. Fact is the fences are mainly there to keep an inferior breed from getting in and messing with your mojo. It's not really the other way around. it's not like they are getting pumped with steroids. They are just eating good food and they get big with the right diet just like any animal or person for that matter.
It's always the age old debate. I'll stand up for the record and state that I'll shoot ever MFer on that ranch with a smile on my face. I enjoy just getting to see them b/c it's something that most people will never have the luxury of laying their eyes on. That's why it's different and special in my eyes.
Sorry if that rant rubbed anyone the wrong way. I just think it's hard to judge unless you've seen it in person. It's not what most people who feel negatively towards it would expect.

Yes,
That 284 has put over 20,000 inches of antler on the wall.
You are paying for the opportunity to hunt but not purchasing a deer as implied. It's just like paying for a guided hunt anywhere. They just have plenty to shoot at. The one we shot last year hadn't been seen in weeks but we happen to catch him. If you don't shoot a deer you don't pay for the hunt just room and board.

Boone & Crockett nor Pope & Young recognize any animal taken from a fenced operation, no matter how large the acerage. They have to be free range.
The Indian Reservation I am planning to hunt buffalo on is 55,000 acres. Does not count.
