I personally do not see the thrill in hunting enclosed animals. I change the channel when I see a high fence in the background of a hunting show. It seems kind of like shooting cows out to pasture. I do not, though, see why I should care if someone else enjoys it and wants to do it.

I occasionally hunt over bait. Many people feel that baiting is not hunting.It is their right to believe that, but not their right to tell me not to do it. While I to believe that it is a greater accomplishment tokill an animalover a trail, etc, I sometimes enjoy being able to hunt in spots in which I see more deer. This seems very simmilar to me.

Why should I care if someone that shoots a deer in an enclosed area considers it to be a trophy. It in no way effects me or takes away frommy "trophies". (I still might chuckle a little under my breath when they showed me the pictures.)

Why does everyone always have to condemn everything that is done differently than the way they do it. While I agree that it is simmilar to hunting raised cows, that shouldn't be a reason to make it illegal. Farmers are allowed to kill their cows how ever they want, as long as they don't neglect them or torture them. If someone wants to charge people to humainly hunt their raised deer, then so be it.

I don't see this as a moral or ethical question.Even though one was shot in the wild and one in a pen, both animals end up the same way, dead. The only real issue is that one is easier than the other. So what, if you think it's to easy then don't do it. I wont do it, but thats just the way I feel.

So once again, while I have no interest in doing it and may not understand it, I realize it is not my right to condemn it.

On the other hand........I don't understand why some of the people have listed hogs escaping into the wild as a pro of high fence ranches. Aren't those evasive species that do tons of damage and compete with and sometimes out competethe natural wild life.

The only legitamite reason for dis-allowing these enclosures would be if it were proven that they were the cause of the spreading and introduction of CWD and other diseases. So far I have only seen studies that say it may have beena factor, none that have proven that they were the cause.
