Hunt Preserve Problems (OUTSIDERS VIEW)

Don't retrieve the animal with the same vehichle you fill the feeders with. I do taxidermy and had a client bring in and animal taken on a high fence ranch and he was totally satisfied he felt he had to hunt hard to get his animal and said he felt like it was hunting in the wild. Then they brought the truck that they normall haul feed out to the feeders with and all the critters in the pen came crawling out of the woodwork like livestock and this hunter said all that satisfaction wend down the tubes right then.

Don't take hunting guests trough breeding pens to get to hunting ranch.

Keep travel lanes away from fence.

Have lodge inside hunting ranch.

Move out bulk feeders during hunting. try to hand feed many small locations that hunter can't see.

Don't call bucks by name (maxbo/ranger on hardcore/danger).

call areas by unique name like river bottom or blueberry hill not the 200 or 300.

let hunters see more than mature bucks in ranch. (does and fawns)

Keep all feed health care supplies away from hunters.

Learn what the hunter wants ask key questions listen and respond in action.



Let the hunters wake up to the smell of fresh hot cinnamon rolls see big bucks during morning hunts come back to lunch smelling grilled burgers go out for a successful afternoon hunt and well placed photo shoot than return to the lodge to share the success of the day at dinner with friends.

I do agree very much with that statement

I think I might show up for some of those fresh hot cinnamon rolls in the morning!!!

Instead of having hunting and breeding info on one website split it up into two different websites.

I cringe every time I see "guaranteed hunt" on a ranches web site. I know that turns off a lot of hunters. On a different note, I think all of us need to be more careful about what gets on youtube. I've recently watched a fawn crash a fence in one video. In another one they showed bucks being run through a handling facility where they were goring each other. The bucks where then shown in the chute with blood on their antlers. I can't see how things like that are going to help us. I understand that people want to show off their deer. I know fawns are gonna hit the fence and bucks are going to gore each other. I just don't think we should put it out there for everyone to see. Peta is probably thinking "man this is too easy, their doing our job for us". Sorry Pianted, got off subject a little.
