Here is the way i look at it, i dont care if its 500 acres or 15000 acres if its shot behind a fence its not hunting. To me its no different than having a herd of beef cows go pick the one you want shoot it and its dinner time. Other than that as long as its legal than its hunting!!
Hmmmmmm. Let me postulate to all with this view..... If I took away your tree stands, eliminated all food plots/baiting, (same thing to me) guides/outfitters, management rules, guns, scents, (keep your camo)and put youin a fenced 1 sq/mi area ( 640 acres) of heavily wooded land, with a deer density of 5 deer per sq/mi, would you still view this environment as shooting,"a herd of beef cows"? Of the 5 deer, perhaps 1 or 2is a buck. Easy hunting??
My opinion, for what it's worth, I abhor managed hunts of any kind. However, I recognize it is every hunters decision as to the degree of difficulty one feels comfortable in assuming for his/her hunts.
I'm a stillhunter plain and simplebut Like the view of most here, to each his own.However, I wouldrecognize anyone who hunts in themanner and environmentoutlined above as "hunting", fence or no fence.
