“A friend of mine took his daughter to get a deer in one of these. they basically had a pasture where the animals would come and they just sat in this prebuilt tower and waited and shot it... i dont really consider that “hunting”...”
Well...a lot of deer hunting is pretty much like that. Many hunting clubs plant food plots, and have stands overlooking those plots. Some hunting clubs are also farms, and hunters hunt the planted fields. Here in South Carolina, anyone with private land can put out corn or other feed and hunt over that.
Again, at least the animals have a wild and free life, and in most of the cases above there are no high fences. For the hunter, it’s a chance to get high quality, low fat meat along with some fresh air. Even in those situations, there’s no guarantee you’re going to take an animal.
Personally I mainly hunt public lands, where the only legal attractant is deer urine. There are often feral hogs around as well. To each his own!
I would like to take some hunting vacations in the future. A trip to Africa would be great, and the costs are actually reasonable compared to this exotics ranch if you shop around a bit.
in the South most definitely, but certainly not back in Wyo... you actually have to know terrain and know where and when the game is going to most likely be.
Here is more like a video game...
It's a lot simpler to live in the exurbs and pick up the roadkill.
