NY,
I don't think you understand the concept of a high fence.
Only a moron would place a stand in the corner in such a situation. In hunting property like this, you still are hunting. I guess if you want to hunt in a pen that might work, I wouldn't know.
You have to use the same tactics as if there was no fence at all when you are talking large tracts of land.. The basics are the same, you hunt between where the deer are and where they want to go, where they feed and where they might be rutting. Unless there is an oak tree and a horny doe in the fence corner, why on earth would you hunt there?

By putting yourself in the corner, you pretty much limit your chances.
IF there was a high fence around where we hunt, my stands wouldn't change. I would still hunt the edge of thickets and oak flats in the morning and edges of greenfields in the evenings.

The fence isn't there so much to "herd" the deer in any particular direction, just contain. I don't think people have any idea how big 8000 acres really is.

I think that when some people see a high fence they think automaticlly that when you hunt there that you get an automatic kill. This isn't the case in most situations.

"Would it still be ok to shoot a deer that is standing there facing the fence looking at the other side?" We hunt natural barriers and funnels all the time, is that ethical? People hunt man madebarriers all the time too, roads, fences etc. Fair chase is when an animal is not cornered in a small area. Just because there is a barrier on one side doesn't limit the animal in such a way that you get an unfair chance at it. After a few years, a fence just becomes another geographical barrier to the animals in that area, much like a rockface or steep river bank. What abouthunting onthe other side of a fence along a major interstate. There are highways down here where there are 10 or 12 foot deer fences along the highway that go for miles.The reason is to keepdeer off the roads.If you had a lease, or there was a WMA that went along the highway, would you not hunt there? Now, I know you would never hunt a natural funnel or river crossing because that is the only place deer could cross for several miles, would you?
