I assumed that IS what it would be like........perhaps naively. I don't see why you would fence in 10,000 acres if you are only gonna use 20........not only that but 10,000 acres is impossible to control. It is over 15 1/2 square miles..........if a deer doesn't want to go somewhere he isn't gonna. My guess is that the population is VERY dense within and this overcomes the need to hoard them into certain areas.
Maybe this is what sticks in my crawl and makes it seem less like hunting. I think, no matter how big the fenced range (Most probably aren't as big as 10,000 acres) you still have some control if not a lot of control over the deer. I too believe most fence them in soto protect their income, it then stands to reason they would try to produce as many deer especially trophy bucks as they can. So even if it were a huge ranch, they are still grownig deer and that takes away from the hunt....for me.
