i am in texas if you had read. i did shoot a doe this weekend on a fair chase ranch. we saw bucks but just passed due to not having a good shot. a high fence would not have made the shot any harder-or easier.
my season has never depended upon how big a rack was. i just try to get meat and some times i fail. i fail in a fair chase hunt and not inside a fence. i fail to see your point on the 10,000 acre ranch. who cares what the other people get as long as they are doing it own their property. i would never put up a high fence to keep people out except maybe in a prison.high fences keep other deer out and the other deer in.the reason i hear is that so they can grow bigger. why is this? so they can kill that fenced in deer when it gets big.fencing anything in where it will spend its life inside that fence is not fair chase. the sole purpose of that fence is to grow that deer bigger so it can be killed once it gets to the size you want. where is that hunting?
