Hoyt03 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Anyone ever go on a trip to the Perlitz ranch. I was looking at the website last night after watching a show from there on the outdoor channel and was amazed at the trophy prices. That 193" B&C they have shown would cost roughly $18,000 just to shoot. Thats doesnt include 10% tips either. They have some beautiful animals down there, but to pay this much to take a deer is just not worth it in my book and actually seems kinda crazy that people even consider this.

slugshooter Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Re: Perlitz ranch I'd never pay that much, honestly, I wouldn't pay anything to shoot a deer, except license fee's, or if I ever was asked to join a club or something. But to pay for a trip, then have to pay to shoot a deer, then pay depending on how big he was. Honestly, I don't think it's right, but, to each his own. The wonders of a capitalistic society huh?

hunterfisherman Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Re: Perlitz ranch I could do a lot with that kind of money. None of which includes paying for an animal grown to size for me. That's not hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dust Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Re: Perlitz ranch I looked at going to one of those places this year and noticed all those trophy fees at different places. I was in shell shock. I figure if I am going to hunt a trophy deer why should I pay for the size of the rack. It don't make sense to me. I didn't really like the thought of hunting a high fence property either. But I won't judge those that do. The have more money than I do.

May not be the type that you are used to, or capable of going on, but it is still a hunt. Just because you do not like it, doesn't mean that others don't.

Jeramie Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Re: Perlitz ranch I wouldn't pay nearly that either. Would I pay for a trophy buck? Sure... If it cost you to travel to a big buck state (area) then you are in effect paying for the chance to take a big buck. Granted I would assume you're guaranteed a buck of that size if you pay for it but regardless, your paying either way. Personally I would find some land to hunt in Canada, buy a new rifle, fly up there, hunt, and still have money to pay some stuff off long before i would spend $18k on any deer.

Until a hunter has hunted a hig fence you can not make a judgement. How can you say something is better or worse until you have experienced it first hand? I have hunted a high fence twice and both trips you never even knew the fence was there. If I could afford it and it was legal I would fence my property in Nebraska because it is the ulimate management tool. Not all hunts on a place like that are that high either. I have hunted at Texas Hidden Springs Ranch both tmes. That place is owned by Keith Warren and a trophy hunt was only 3500.00 and a management hunt 9 pt or less and scoring under 170 was 2500.00 Thats not too bad. I just expect everyone to not comment on hunting a fence until you actually have an experience behind one to make such a comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Re: Perlitz ranch That is a lot for a deer, almost as much as the deer that was on the deer farm posted about not so long back. I would never spend that much for one deer hunt. As for the high fenced operations, have to agree with rifleman here. While I have never been to a high fenced ranch and probably never will, I think so long as the property is big enough, it really is fair chase despite whether the books agree or not.
