Happens more than you think. I've seen with my own eyes 2 so called TV personalities kill a deer that were in a pen the night before and then were darted and put into a bigger pasture. Both hunts made TV. Dam deer didn't have a clue where they were... absolutely ridiculous...

I used to work with a guy who was in tight with the 700 Springs ranch folks, the stories he would tell me about dudes who would just write them a check for thousands and thousands of dollars and say "I want X deer at X inches" and they would go pick them out of the pen, dart them, bring them to the "pasture" in time for them to wake up and stumble around for the buyer to pretend to hunt them.
I asked him straight up "What is the accomplishment with this?" and his answer was "Bragging rights"...
It's like buying a Super Bowl ring on Ebay and acting like you actually even played in the game...

I'm definitely not jealous of pretending to hunt in the least and I don't believe that excuse at all, we all work hard and we can all make time to do something if it is important to us.
I was thinking about this very thing earlier inspired by the OP's article and it made me realize something that's probably going to be a really unpopular- if you either can't or aren't willing to put in the effort to actually hunt then maybe you haven't really earned the honor of claiming a trophy.
Hunting is the only recreational endeavor you can straight up buy success, even if it is illusory.

I know of a woman and man tv personality that’s done elk, whitetail, and Audad on a ranch a close friend used to work for. Then to see the end product come on tv made me sick to my stomach. This was on top of once having spook span offer me $75,000 to a deer i jokingly claimed to have on my property on instagram one time. His rep said he’d take me on a New Zealand stag hunt of a lifetime i said no thanks then offered me $75k it was quite shocking what some will do for a deer
