I just dont get this for the life of me. I can say for sure, but i will go out on a limb and say that the majority of people who have problems with high fence hunting have never hunted behind one or have never even seen one. I will also go out on the same limb and say that the majority of the people with the same problems have never hunted in Texas. It seems that every time someone mentions Texas on this site, people automatically assume its high fence. The simple fact is there are alot of high fence ranches in texas, but last time i checked, texas was a huge state, and there are also alot of low fence ranches as well. Let me ask a question, what is the difference between a guy hunting a 100 acre "farm" in Illinois or a 1500 acre "ranch" in texas if neither have high fences and the only difference being that they are in different states. I am no texas expert, i have hunted it twice in my life, once in a low fence ranch and another time on a multiple thousand acre ranch. Both had their positives and negatives but that is a whole other issue. I will say that if you spend any time in Texas driving around, and i havent spent much, you will see vast amounts of wildlife, some native and some not native. The exotics can and do get out of high fence ranches and establish "native" populations where they settle. Lets all get off our high horses and accept that we might not all know everything.

Once again, that is one heck of a bull elk, display him proudly on the wall, you deserve it.
