i am a born texan and have lived in texas all my life. i do not believe in high fences. even with 10,000 acres you know pretty much where te deer will be. you have to ask your self the question,"when the deer get to the end of this property, can they keep running free or does the fence turn them around?" if they can not keep running it is not fair chase. if they are turned around by the fence then they are penned up. makes no difference how big the pen is, it is still a pen if they can not get out.success rates are much, much higher on high fence ranches. hunting prices are much higher on high fence ranches.i just believe that the deer should have as much of a chance as the hunter. high fences do not give them that chance.i have been to and looked at high fence ranches all over texas.
