Mr. Yox, you are not going to talk sense to people who have a narrow minded....it is all about me....mindset.

You are correct, the vast majority of these folks screaming to have high fenced preserves made illegal, have little or no first hand knowledge of what these places are like. I have heard for the second time now that Russ Bellars place was a model of how these places should be........I would like to know just who had that opinion?

It still comes down to private property rights. Hey, you got a field you want to make into a soccer field, that is your right. Personally, I think soccr is a sissy game, that teaches our children the wrong thing about life. I think that if God did NOT want us to use our arms, he would have left them off..........but I sure will not attempt to deny you the right of having a soccer field on YOUR land.

As far as th negative outlook on our hunting heritage goes....these places would not even be a blip on the radar screen if were not for the ethics police type hunters that cry about them.

Just because hunting/killing inside of a fence is not your cup of tea, that does not give you the right to force your views on others.

There are no legitimate arguements for stopping a private landowner from erecting a fence and stocking that fenced in area with privately owned animals, there are only selfish, uneducated reasons.

You don`t have to call these places "hunting", in fact, you don`t have to call them anything. If you do not like it, do NOT participate in it. It is that simple.

And before some of you form your reply....I have NEVER hunted inside a high fence.

I have no plans of EVER hunting in a high fence.

I do not own, or work for, in any way, a high fence hunting preserve.

I simply do not go around thinking that killing privately owned animals by the owner of said animals, whether they are cows, hogs, sheep, deer, elk, etc. is any of my business.
