I am pasting a post that was brought to my attention this morning, from one of the forums that gives major ammo to someone who is against our industry and hunting ranches. I also am pasting a thread from a hunting forum in ND where they pasted a thread from DeerFarmer and used it for ammo in their efforts to shut down hunting ranches. We need to use the members only section more often, but even in here we still don't know who everyone is that is registered. Please be careful of what you post and more importantly lets police ourselves we shouldn't need some activist to point out when we are shooting ourselves in the foot.
I would encourage everyone that has signed the petition on another thread on this site, to take a little initiative and try to protect the hunt ranch industry and keep an eye on what is being said on these forums and better yet what is happening on the hunt ranches that might be fueling the fires. It is hard to focus on promotion when we spend most of our time putting out fires and trying to duck the black eyes the we give ourselves.

if you got enough out him not to be a ------- id put him in the freezer we had one just like that once he got himself in a frnzy he never came out of even when he was sold for a hunt he tried ripping the fence off the posts tried killing dad would pick up the water trough and toss and even with a well placed arrow in him at the preserve he charged the guy within 4 or 5 feet before he fell over in my opinion i know i will never own a bottleraiseed buck because of my experience but if you do plan on keeping him dart him and cut his horns off he will still be agressive atleast ours was but will cause less harm to you than if he had his horns on

Just Mom and Pop HF operations. Sure. Gotta love these boys, not shy at all. Barebackjack you were right, it's just like selling milk. Shooter bucks............love that term, sounds like Vegas.
THE PLAN
Fellow deer farmers.
Most of you by now are wondering what the plan is to get move hunters so we can harvest more bucks and promote breeding to a new level.
The SPECIFIC GOAL or vision encompasses advertising for more hunters to the hunting ranch’s. WHY: To harvest the shooter bucks produced by the breeders. For years breeders have been marketing their breeding stock. Now is the time to market their shooter bucks. Just as dairy farmers market their milk. The specific goal is to bring down the wall or stigma of canned hunts. HOW: To advertise the experience and advantages of high fenced hunting. Note: the focus must be on the hunting experience and not the hunting ranch. Sell potential hunters on the benefits of high fenced hunting, they will find the ranch’s. What are the benefits, No licenses, guaranteed hunt, great values, good selection, close proximity ect.
