Here's an honest question. Why would someone claim that a deer that was killed in an enclosure on a pay hunt as being a free-range deer?? Most of those bucks are cataloged with pics on them on the high fence's website for advertising. I mean it is just stupid. Word will get out. Is a day of internet fame worth losing your reputation for life? I just do not understand this mentality and it seems to be a common occurrence that replays itself on here year after year.
Most of these types aren't even hunters, which is why they are dumb enough to think their 6,000 dollar deer actually is a new record. They haven't hunted long enough to even understand the difference in free range v. breeder facility. And the guides at these high fences really put the sales pitch to them, talking about what an awesome hunter they are, how that buck has been the hardest to hunt, and how it's the biggest deer they have ever seen killed anywhere in that area. The guy's rifle looks brand new and his name brand high dollar hunting clothes look brand new. I guarantee you the high fence guides put such a show on for him that he legitimately believed he had killed the county record and sent it off to the record books. You think the high fence guide is going to turn around and tell him his $6,000 buck is ineligible for the record book since it is nothing more than livestock?
