If so much wasn't put on the kill and the trophy,canned hunts wouldn't be an issue. Too many guys must kill the biggest animal for their ego and to pound their chest more than anything;the thrill of the hunt and the times involved with it just don't matter anymore. Now,I know of a canned hunt operation here in Nebraska( or he was in operation a a couple of years ago anyway) that would book about 25-30 hunts per year with a hunt starting at $2000 and going up to over $9,000 depending on the size of the antlers.Alot of quick money to be made. I laugh at guys that need to hunt like this and think(actually believe)they accomplished something.
Just looked;he's still doing the hunts and now has buffalo hunts, texas dall sheep and fallow deer.....when available.
