dont ever buy a pork chop again...thats essentially what roy did...hows that n e different..i think the point your making is about wild animals...he shot a darn pig..
I'm aware of the fact that theres losers in Alberta that sell and purchase canned hunts as well. I never said it was exlusive to the US (not anymore anyway). People are people, whether its American, Canadian, Paki or anything else, theres gonna be losers everywhere you go, just like theres winners everywhere you go. We've got trespassers, road hunters and poachers too lol. I'm not proud of the fact that its done here in Alberta too. And to answer your question, if the only legal hunting left around here was fenced in animals, yup, I would sell my bow, rifles and shotguns and take up golf. I enjoy hunting, putting an animal inside a fence and killing it isn't hunting, anybody that partakes in it, sure as hell ain't a hunter.And to the boobs that said canned hunts are a great way to get kids started in hunting.. I feel sorry for your kids. You're teaching them no respect for the game they are hunting at all. I'd suggest you immediatley take yourself out of the gene pool lol.
..i ask you..whens the last time you did anything positive for the outdoors besides buy a lisence...
So your saying that if a person from the city doesn't have 1000 miles or so at his disposal, and not enough money to afford to go on a hunt to far away places, and wants to hunt, he should forget it just because the canned hunt might be the only option for him?? Wow, thats a GREAT way to increase participation in the world of hunting....and isn't that a point you made about the decline of people participating??
There is always an alternative to a canned hunt. If you can afford to pay the yahoos that run these places, you can afford to drive an hour or two to hunt somewhere else. And now the next excuse is going to be "theres no public land within a comfortable driving distance for a day hunt". As hard to believe as this would be, it may be accurate in some places, and the answer is private land, get a county landowners map, a telephone, 2 hours of your time after dinner and a pot of coffee.
