with hunting turning into such a big buisness industry there are more and more game ranches poping up all over. I can barley watch the sportsman channel anymore. because i cant stand watching some guy pay money to get on some ranch-country club to sit in a heated elevated box blind over a feeder and shoot a whitetail-farm animal. or the guy who goes to a high fence elk ranch and shoot a 420" bull with white horns and said he went elk hunting but totally missed out on the true elements of elk hunting. Is this the futur of hunting? could this happen to mule deer? what is your opinion?
 
With the current trend of big game hunting (including mule deer) pushing the "inches", it is a very real possiblity. With such high pressure from special interest groups towards "trophy" management, I fear it won't be that long before muley hunting in all western states will be LE with "game farms" popping up...I hope and wish I am wrong!
 
I know what you're saying about all the "un-fair chase" hunts. It seems a little silly to me too. They're missing the essence of the hunt.

A mule deer ranch would only work on private land and we kind of already have them (private ranches but still fair chase).

I've also heard that mule deer don't domesticate well and this makes them hard to work with in a "farm" setting.

If te mule deer farm is the way of the future then I'll just keep living in the past.

Good food for thought!

It'll be a sad day when all hunting is on ranches only... I hope it NEVER comes to that...

I don't appreciate any of those hunting shows that hunt these types of ranches, and I don't respect the animals harvested there...

Boone & Crocket and Pope & Young don't respect the animals there either, and I therefore only care about B&C and P&Y trophies...
