You mean this one?



Is that ranch considered high fence or fair chase?

[jeepasaurusrex]

I read some more. Its high fence.  

Founded in 1989 by lifetime hunter and former NFL All-Pro Rulon Jones, Broadmouth Canyon Ranch originally offered free range hunts on 25,000 acres of exclusively private ground in the rugged Rocky Mountains of northern Utah for Mule Deer, Elk and Shiras moose.  Wanting to offer more, we created a 5,000-acre elk hunting preserve while still maintaining a very fair chase feeling.  This preserve includes massive canyons and oak and maple covered slopes from 4,500 feet in elevation up to 9,000 feet.  With the proper management, we have gone from average genetics in our elk herds to exceptional.

*censored*in stupid that's all I have to say

[packwoodcoug]

wow

[Wile E. Hunter]

I'd be so proud.... Well, kinda proud.... Well, at least I'd have something to eat? Hmmm, those probably end up being pretty expensive steaks... Well, hey, at least I'd have pictures!

This is actually rather grotesque looking to me....I guess there is a limit to horns where when it crosses a line it becomes just so not right.  Really doesn't matter to me if it is high fence or free range both are legal and everyone is free to choose their hunt I just think the overdone unnatural antlers are rather nasty looking....

[dscubame]

Ya not attractive or impressive.  Just gross.

[wsucowboy]

I think it looks bad antler wise. I'd rather have a 6x6 on my wall than that. It just looks way unnatural.  

[d-rock]

His head looks weird too small and "funny lookin"

[Special T]

I don't have the cash but i can think of a situation or 2 where a high fence hunt could still be cool...You could spot and stalk, all on foot with a bow.... That would even things up some.... Might be the future of hunting if its the only way to keep the predators down... 

[d-rock]

Is it just me or does his head look like a goat?

[MIKEXRAY]

I'm sure they feed supplements right ? Hormones ?  Does look abnormal. Mike

yawn....a meaningless harvest of a farmed animal, a calf elk on public land is much more of a trophy.

[colockumelk]

Monster Bull I will educate you.  This definition is straight from the Boone and Crockett website.

FAIR CHASE, as defined by the Boone and Crockett Club, is the ethical, sportsmanlike, and lawful pursuit and taking of any free-ranging wild, native North American big game animal in a manner that does not give the hunter an improper advantage over such animals.

Therefore this high fenced elk that was killed can not go into their books.  A far as why a Tribal Harvest can't be entered here is why it can't be entered.  If you don't like it you can always buy a hunting license and hunt during the general season just like the rest of us.  Then IF you get one big enough you can then enter it into the club.  Rules are Rules.  

IX. Not in full compliance with the game laws or regulations of the federal government or of any state, province, territory, or tribal council on reservations or tribal lands;
