Red Boar - I did the same poll on AT - got 300 responses, and same results. 88% in favor of hunting inside the fence.

Shame, but while a lot of us talk a good game about huntinginside a fence, our opinion changes when it's prepaid or free. Ethics for sale.
For mefences has nothing to do with my personal"ethics". Ifit did I would only eat meat I kill fair chaseand is a game animal. It is simply achoice that Iwill not pursue a trophy animal in a cage or fence. That is not hunting, to me. But in this situation, considering the relatinoship and being a gimme, I would do it.I would never pay or brag about it.
If a guy raised goats or whatever andwas going to skin out somefor the freezer and burgers and asked if I wanted to shoot one I would do it. Heck I would try out a Rage Head or something. Have we not all looked at a cow or somethig and wonderedwhat it would be like to whack one? If a farmer said it is fine I am fixing to kill it anyway, many of us would go for it.

If we are going to focus on this topic by thisdefinition of Ethics or Ethicalthen we must give way to the folks that have a very bad problem with any animal bleeding to death from a broadhead. Myethics and beliefsare not for sale. Now my personal thoughts about things? That can change with new knowledge or understanding.We are talking about killing an animal and where it is appropriate.
