The Canned HuntA canned hunt is a trophy hunt where the animals have been raised, somewhat confined, or completely confined. Years ago Teddy Roosevelt wouldn't take a bear because it didn't appear free, but Troy Gentry of today's singing duo "Montgomery Gentry" did. Some hunters seem more interested in a trophy than in hunting. 
Hunting seems to receive less emphasis with each passing season. Hunting is recreation, sport, and not necessary for survival today. The deli-ma facing today's hunter; how easy is too easy? Hunting has become big business! Some television programs, internet websites, and other advertising sources are bombarding our hunters with the message: Get 'your' trophy! Today's hunting includes things which would not have been considered a part of hunting a few years ago: seed, feed, and feeders... even farm machinery specifically made for hunters. Things to make hunting easier, surer... Some get straight to the point, giving a guarantee of success, or a very high percentage of success... Advertising guided hunts, luxurious accommodations, great dining... The bottom line here; easy hunting. When you get a guarantee of success, it is not
"authentic hunting".
Were more hunters focused on scoring a good hunt, and less on scoring a good trophy; we would have a "win, win situation." We don't stop those who choose easy hunting, to lie, to cheat... But! With more attention on quality hunting, the quality of hunting will improve. We have many more pages of information. Canned Hunt to Deer Food
