In their brochures and advertisements, operators of canned hunting facilities routinely flout the most basic principles of fair chase in hunting. Here's a sample of what they're saying, and how these operations brag about stacking the odds against captive animals:
"No kill no pay."
—Triple R Ranch
"...comfort of a large enclosed blind with sliding window overlooking heavily used corn feeders."
—Barnes-Keith Ranch
"...all weather blind overlooking feeding areas."
—Beaver Creek Ranch
"...hunts are from elevated box blinds overlooking food plots, senderos or feeders."
—Edmund Tom Ranch
"...our hunters consistently bring down nilgai due to their sheer numbers...water holes are effective during the summer months...we suggest you put out some corn in areas to attract [boar and javelina] and plan on stand hunting...remember to bring your Loc-On treestand!"
—Four Arrow Outfitters
"The animals are fed on a feed routing that runs daily."
—Gunn Ranch
"...we have the daytime cover and water...so they MUST come to us to hide and drink."
—Itchy Acres Ranch
"The preferred hunt will be from elevated blinds and enclosed tri-pods overlooking automatic feeders."
—Kinsel Cattle Company
"Our hunters have 90% to 100% success...we put 40 lbs of corn at each stand twice a week so the deer and hogs are used to coming to them. You may put out corn at the stand you are hunting...36 comfortable box stands."
—Lange Ranches in the Texas Hill Country
"Hunting is done from tower blinds overlooking feeders which have been operating continuously since August. Any predators seen may be taken as well."
—Mann Outfitting
"...hunting is usually done from double box blinds overlooking feeders...we're going to do everything legally possible to make your hunt a productive worthwhile experience!"
—Rojo Grande Ranch
"...we hunt in 3 man box blinds overlooking food plots and senderos. We expect 100% success."
—San Miguel Hunting Ranches
"Each stand has mineral licks and timer controlled feeders."
—Solano Ranch
