I see hunting as a thing that is worked towards, hard work that is. Shooting occurs when it is very easy. You basically walk outside and take a shot (high fence, ranches, etc.).
Another vote for the challenge of it.

What do you think about hunts where there is no fence but killing a deer is as simple as not missing??

I notice that many guys despise the thought of a "guaranteed" kill when a fence is present............yet when the same situation exists and there is no fence it often doesn't get mentioned.
I think that these situations may seem like that, but it is because people do hard work to get there. I have never seen or heard of a place that is not fenced, etc, that is so easy. Maybe I am wrong, but I think the people that say this happens to them and such that they are just suprised that this hard work really helped so they just assumed they got lucky.
