[QUOTE="Dean Parisian, post: 5573543, member: 1011"] I lived 28 years in a north Atlanta suburb. We bow hunted (on Mondays) the Atlanta Athletic Club and many of those golf clubs were beautiful fawning areas. The young bucks at the SEEK ONE crew (you tube them if you like big bucks) are testament to low stress environments putting mass (energy) into antler development. I spent Thursday at the Safari Club International annual gala in Nashville. If you hunt you should go once in your life. Once. That’s my take but it was $205 to enter on Thursday. I talked to the owner-operators of 3 high fence operations. One in Indiana. One in Missouri. One in Ohio if memory serves. I was trying to gain insight on what they do for predator control within their high fence and and types of sanctuary. All three obviously agreed you need 3 things. One, No stress. Two, great nutrition. Three, sanctuary. It appears the demand for big antlers isn’t going away. One owner flat out said he doesn’t allow .270’s to be used. One guy said he shoots a couple hundred bucks per year and only allows bucks, no does, in his 1700 acres of high fence. All have used in vitro fertilization, artificial insemination and breeding pens. Hard to believe the size of the 2.5 year deer! One guy told me in 32 years he had 3 bucks he wouldn’t allow to be shot. Here is one of the bucks that scored 279 and died of natural cause at age 10.
