There wouldn't be game farms and shooting preserves if there wasn't a market for them. Like I said @ the beginning of this post....If there wasn't a market for it, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.... There is a market for child prostitution too. Should society accept everything that is market driven? I didn't say I agree with it, or support it......IMHO, this obsession with big deer has gotten way out of hand. But the reality is...money talks and there are plenty of people who want to kill preserve deer willing to write big checks to make it legal to do so.

In all the years of this debate since 1999 only a couple of people have come foward as hunters and testified for these preserves. Both were handicapped and both never paid for the hunts.

Another myth. Not everybody that hunts at a preserve is rich. Some are some aren't. Most people know several guys that have hunted at preserves for exotics and put and take birds that are not rich.

I found it hard to believe too but there seems to be a growing number of hunters who don't see a problem with it or consider it a propert rights issue. And then there are the ones that don't want the government telling them want they can and can not do.
