ORIGINAL: Bowhunter4life

High Fence and captive herds have corrupted hunting cause its completely unethical. If you have hunted in a high fence your not worth a crap to be called a hunter
Well Im not a fan of fenced hunts norwould I pay to do it, but, there are circumstances that I also look at. I know several people that own businesses. They LOVE to hunt but dont have the convenience of putting in lots of hours of scout time or time sitting in stands waiting for that one lucky moment. I also know guys that have families that require them to be home to take of their family leaving little tono field time. What can they do? Pay for a fenced hunt where they know they will get some meat and a rack while taking 4 or 5 days off? Pay for a fair chase hunt where they may get a chance at a nice buck or a doe because they are obsessed with hunting trophies? Whats right?? The fact that they are unable to get time to hunt the way we all preffer tohunt and scout,and then pay for ahunt make it corrupt, andthat it creates a business avenue for someone to fence and farm deer?

If someone is corrupt because they are obsessed then thats an individuals ethics like I mentioned in my first post.
