@loren, she can, just it isn’t a record. It’s like me going to a farm and shooting a bull and saying, wow look at me.

Who gets to decide if it is a record.
Why try and divide the sport of hunting and AG's?

You're a fan then of 'drive thru' canned hunting?

Texas ranches catering to this demographic make serious money; Ox Ranch in Uvalde charges $30K to take the largest Whitetail buck, plus $1,000 for a Weekday Hunting Package. As you’d expect, the upscale ranches roll out the red carpet for the high-rollers. They’re five-star luxury all the way, from air conditioned bedrooms to a personal chef and (or course) a fully-stocked bar.

This is a really great thing, ... if you're a millionaire, maybe. Are you a millionaire?
Sure is a lot of saltiness here. Most states have VERY limited AG hunting, and I think most that allow any kind of "big" game, deer is your only option. Not like you get to go to Idaho and hunt elk, mule deer, sheep, or bears with your AG. Private fenced ranches are one of the few options for large game. Let the young woman have her trophy. It certainly takes nothing away from any of you ole salty dogs.
I'm not defending or attacking game ranches. A game ranch is not my kind of hunting, but if others want it to be their kind of hunting, then more power to them. Again it takes nothing from me.
Why do you feel it necessary to insult those whom you disagree w/?
Urban Dictionary: Salty Dog

Salty Dog. In the mid Illinois region such as any area between Chicago and Joliet this word is used to define an individual after he/she does something stupid, ridiculous, or embarrassing.

And that is the whole point....they know the boundaries on that hunting ranch so hardly any tracking/stalking...just run the animal to a fence...
Going by memory. Michigan DNR years ago fenced in some land, I think it was a square mile. They allowed 5 hunters to go in and try to hunt the bucks. Took them 3 days to even see one. If I remember it took the 5 hunters 5 days to shoot just one buck.
They are very few things in life, cooler than having a bird land on your body, while you’re in your stand.
there are a few things that are worse than having a squirrel climb up your tree towards you when you’re on your stand. One of them, is having the squirrel climb down towards you....I usually break down long before it gets to me, and hiss at it to scare it away. I don’t like rat like animals sharing my tree stand.
There are so many sides to this coin.
My 10 cents.

Arguing in the alternative, maybe its a miracle those 5 alleged hunters were able to find the exit after taking their Buck?
Maybe the owners of the 'park' found the hunters (wandering aimlessly) to make them pay up?
Endless possibilities here, Gnomesayin?
IIRC there were 5 bucks in that enclosure. The 5 were experienced hunters, they could find the exit. The hunters were chosen by the Michigan dnr for their prowess. No endless possibilities other than the bucks native intelligence for self preservation
I agree; can't feel right about shooting a caged animal.
What IF that one solitary buck was the only deer in that entire square mile?

No endless possibilities other than the bucks native intelligence for self preservation - which is very good. I watch my cat, he's a natural at walking around automatically using every bit of cover when going from one place to another.
I've seen him walk right up to people who never have clue he's within 10 feet.

Maybe those 5 'experienced & selected by the state for their prowess' hunters would have had better luck shooting at 5 fish in a barrel, ya think?
I already answered your question. See one or two of my previous posts in the thread.
