Free range or not?

Yes perhaps so BUT you at least know 100% that he is actually in there behind the wire so you are hunting for a known animal whereas it is a different scenario without the fence.
This is the scenario I am personally least interested in pursuing. It is very easy to find outfitters with specific animals posted. Shop the catalogue, pay the price tag and shoot the animal. I am not even sure I understand how the “hunting” tale is told afterward. I hasten to add there are dozens of deer hunting operations in the States doing the same thing. I’m not much interested in those “adventures” either (particularly the 180+ class freak show bucks). Give me a PH or guide in good country (it can be behind a fence) working his butt off to find me best, oldest beast he can.

I agree, and am not the least bit interested in "hunting" like that either, whether it be RSA, USA, New Zealand, or anywhere else.
 
My feelings are that the animals must be self sustaining. Area needs to be large enough, again in my mind 25,000 plus acres. Free range and Wild is the best of all. Hunting elk out West for 23 years some hunts are rewarded with game on the table others are not. In both cases they are incredible memories and wonderful times. I don’t need to see game every day nor even get a shot, it doesn’t matter because the experience is what I go for.
 
It’s animal density, not land size that determines sustainability.

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
