[QUOTE="SansSouci, post: 1237801, member: 84520"] I've never hunted a game ranch. I have nothing against hunting game ranches. For some hunters who have physical limitations, game ranches are their only way of hunting. Because game ranches have an unfair advantage of genetic engineering of their private property, I do not believe that game taken from ranches should be included in record books. I'd be good with their having their own record book. Besides that, I'm an Adam Smith capitalist. People ought to be able to do what they want with their private property. trophy8, I can tell you that fair chase elk hunting on National Forest lands is one of the most physically demanding sports I've ever tried. So if your dad is not up for a whole lot of hard work, a ranch hunt might be the way to go. Here's the practical part of Rocky Mountain elk hunting: without a whole lot of bonus points, your odds of success won't be good. It might take at least 20 years of bonus points to get into an authentic trophy are rut hunt. In essence, it'll be a once in a lifetime hunt. But such a hunt will pack a lifetime of memories in a few short days. In some limited entry areas, the odds of a record book trophy are pretty darn good. Land owner tags in legitimate trophy areas can be very expensive. But if you don't mind paying a small fortune for a chance at a huge bull, pull the trigger on such a hunt. [/QUOTE]
