I could care less either way because i will not be shooting a high fence deer anytime soon. Unless my neighbor who has cwd in the deer pen needs help! But there is no comparison to a guided hunt and a canned hunt.
In a pen you know 100% that there is a shooter deer there. If you think that most people go home empty handed you would be wrong.They get paid for the inches of antler on the deer you shoot! they dont get paid big bucks if you dont shoot anything!
A guide or outfitter in the wild gets paid to try to put you in a good spot. There are plenty of people on free ranging guided hunts that go home empty handed.

I guess my point was more along the lines of how can you judge something or someone you no nothing about. I get the differences in a penned hunt and any other, but to say you have no respect for the person the animal or the cause and to obviously get upset about it really says something about ones character. Its like Bruce mentioned, what if that kids days are numbered and shooting a giant whitetail happend to be his biggest dream, So mabye mom and dad spent there life savings to get their sons dream....maby abit far fetched but you see my point. Everyone has their motives for anything they do. Just because you dont agree with what you see in a picture doesnt mean its wrong or that your better than it. I for one have better things to spend my money on but if I did have millions of dollars why not, I like pulling the trigger and killing things like the next guy, why not make it a big buck shoot. Hell Id even take some buddies and see who could lay down the first thousand inches on antler. Like someone els said to each their own!
