That was my guess. Do see the fence in the background.

That's my new Dave Smith decoy.
Yes, that's Rodney's. My net worth couldn't buy that deer.

I'm sure he's a fine guy. I just cannot understand why anyone would want to shoot a fenced in animal like that.
Evidently plenty do, it's big business for sure.

I'm sure he's a fine guy. I just cannot understand why anyone would want to shoot a fenced in animal like that. Evidently plenty do, it's big business for sure. He's really a great guy. He's become a good friend of mine. I think he's pretty much booked up for the season. I totally understand professional guys who just don't have time, land or whatever the case may be, to see it as a desired way to go ...and I'm very happy for them and Rodney. I still think if I had the money, I'd want to do it just because I'll never see anything like his in Martinsville. I'm a long way from this though, because there are plenty deer bigger than what I've shot on my food plot now. Getting one of them will be exhilarating just because I've put so much work into it and watching them all year. I would however, really like to go on the handicap elk hunt. I don't care about size; I just know it's something I could never do on my own. A 5x5 was $6K at this ranch I looked at. I didn't think that was too bad a price. I'm going to take some photos of a bull elk for Rodney soon. I'm curious how much his will be, but I bet more than $6K.

Just curious,how much is that buck worth? I can only guess, but most likely as much as someone is willing to pay. My guess is at least $25K, and yes there are people who will pay it. I bet I'd get a good tip from the fella who shoots this. My biggest concern guiding for him is that I'll let someone shoot something bigger than they've paid for. I will study them hard before Oct, but I really hope I get people who can afford anything and want to shoot the biggest thing that comes by.

I'm sorry but it's my opinion that any caged in operation for the sole purpose to make a "$BIG BUCK $" is not hunting it's not a sport. <EDIT> To each his own but that's my thoughts.

To each his own but that's my thoughts. I'm not sure they call it hunting, but I'm all for legal ways to make money. It's what makes America great. I'm happy for those busy guys with money who can't do what I do, but still get to enjoy a kill.

I am pretty much on the feeling that fishing a stocked pond or a put and take bird hunt or shooting a "caged" buck is all the same to me.

Yep, we all know how 99% of hunters feel about the subject.
I don't mind being different.

You are aware that the deer (DELETED for typing around the censored words) have already brought tb into the state, endangering our herd and our multimillion dollar cattle industry, right? But, hey, as long as they're making money. Smh
Rodney wouldn't make a (DELETED for typing around the censored words) on a real mans arse

I was being nice. You really wouldn't like my feelings about Rodney and the others.
And the TB...... They brought it, now we will all pay for it.

I wouldn't show my niceness to your friend with the words you used. As I said, we have all been through this before and know how everyone feels. Unless someone has something new to share, I'm not thinking that we need to start throwing insults around again.

Do you realize the success rate is different in all the things you pointed out except one?? "Caged" Buck!! You ever been hunting for caged deer? You must not be a very good fisherman if your success rate in a well managed pond isn't good. Got a link or a way I can get some hard data on these statistics? Or are these so called success rates just Heresay.
