[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1349180, member: 1132"] Many of these places do pen the animals in small areas. They are used to humans and do not associate them with danger. They're fed on a schedule and the animals will make a pass by the "hunter's" location on a nearly pre-determined schedule. They're like pretty cows that have been conditioned to do a predictable routine. I have no problems with a ranch that leases to hunters. I have no problem with allowing hunters to give fair chase on true game animals that just happen to be located on a specific piece of property. So long as the animal has a fair chance to avoid or escape the hunter, then I still consider it hunting. But a canned hunt is none of those things. If you're guaranteeing a hunter an animal, then you've obviously stacked the deck to the point it's not hunting, it's just shooting and killing. Let's not pretend it's something it's not. [/QUOTE]
