There aint a dang thing wrong with what you just described regards to the property and whether it is a legitimate hunt.
Large scale fencing is a legitimate tool to manage one's property, I'd bet that half the people that complain about fencing have fenced in back yards. You may not be hunting in your backyard but you are "managing" your property from unwanted intruders, same as the owner of a hunting preserve. I wonder how many anti-fencers actually hunt lease land verses public land? Or land surrounded by a dog hunting club? Until you put your $$ down on a deer lease and then see some poacher/trespasser encroaching on you and what you are trying to accomplish then you should reserve judgement on things that you have no knowledge of.
I hunt a club that has 3 seperate parcels of land. One parcel is 1400 acres and I gaurantee you that if it was fenced it wouldn't help me one bit to harvest a deer. It sure would be nice to keep the trespassers and dog hunters from coming on the property though.
There has to be some minimum acreage requirements though, how many I don't know for sure, maybe 1000. In SC there was recent discussions by the wildlife dept. regards to high fencing and for the time being it has been decided that it's not something that will be done in the state. That's okay with me, no problem at all. The only reason I responded to this thread is because I grow weary of some of our friends here on the board calling a fenced, 10,000 acre hunting preserve a canned hunt. To those that think this I can only smile and shake my head, how naive you are.
