Are you shocked by these results?
I mean, we have 90+% of our members going on record to say that they would hunt inside an enclosure, given the circumstances.
Very shocked at the results to be honest with you. For the record I see it is selling your ethics as well. Pretty easy conclusion IMO. Hunter A is against high fence hunting. Hunter A would hunt in an enclosure if he paid $3,000 and was duped into it. What else would you call it? It's a sell out. Justify it 1,000 different ways if you want. In the end you sold your ethics for a $3,000 bill.
I would probably even do it at 3,000 acres. Those are huge areas and I don't blieve deer move around that much.
Then why the need for a fence?
How would you feel about a ranch with no fences but the stands were pre set, the deer routes were known (probably baited or had food plots) and the guide drops you off at your stand or blind and comes back when you are done. Does this sound more like fair chase or less like fair chase? Does it sound like hunting, or just shooting deer? Its not the way I hunt I know that. Ethics are really hard to define aren't they.
Not that I would participate in either, but the difference is the deer has the option to go "over there" if it wanted to without running into a fence.
