Nice looking animal. Congrats.

Ir regards to the canned thing it's not my kettle of fish. That being said I really don't see the difference from fishing in a stocked pond and most would still call that fishing so cut the guy some slack. Many purists would say using bait and firearms is not hunting either yet this is widely accepted.

Would I want it legal in Ontario? - No. But if one wants to travel to a place where it is - have at it. To each his own.

I see this is getting out of hand. I guess no one hunts Farm raised pheasants for sport im sure many members do it. I guess its not hunting then. Is it sport? is it walking with a gun? Baiting bears is it hunting? Is that fair chase? I was just post a fine animal that was shot by me. That's it. I didn't deny anything. Given the opportunity I'm sure you would do it. And I'm sure you will say no i wouldn't.

Cheers

Actually, no I wouldn't do it. I would consider a 120 class whitetail in the wild more of a trophy, but to each their own.

Congrats on your buck and welcome to the forum. There are some nice deer in P.A because its managed better. You can't shoot any buck you see ,there are antler restrictions.

I get a thread pulled cause You guys whine that the deer was transported without a tag. While all along he was still on my property mere feet from where he stopped ,yet canned shoots on a hunt forum are cool. OKAY got it

I dont think your thread should have been pulled. The fact it was is a joke. The internet cops are at times sickening. I think its all bred by jealousy "that guy got a deer and I couldn't so I had best call him out on something!"

That being said you can call it a canned hunt if you wish but the keyword is still "hunt" this lad paid for a hunt that may not suit us all but none the less some of us enjoy to see different things and were happy to take the journey. To each their own! Whitetails that are bred and released to be hunted are among a whole host of other animals. Pheasant, quail, chukar, hogs and a number of other deer species can be farm hunted. I think the bad rap comes from the whitetail being North Americas most popular big game animal. It is easily and readily found in the wild so again with the jealousy thing, deer like the one in question are not easily found in an Ontario fair chase hunt. The guys that can't go tor don't want to go on one of these hunts get a little cheezed that someone can go out and take an animal larger than anything they will ever harvest. IMO if no antlers were present nobody would care. You don't see guys grouching about the guy that shot a pheasant that was released ten minutes previous.

As stated earllier. To each their own.
