For me a "hunt" does not equal a garanteed kill. I believe many have alluded to it as a "shopping trip". I'm ok with that. I wouldn't buy a Xmas tree from one of those fenced in tree places either. It sort of flys in the face of tradition. You know, load the kids up in the carand heading into the woods for thatperfect tree-axe and saw in hand...on Sunday after church.

Would I hunt in a high fence? Absolutely, but, of course, it would depend on the animal I was hunting. I have been there done that too many times to know that a fence means nothing to many animals. They go from one side to the other like a hot knife going through butter (I've seen plenty actually come from outside to inside because that's where the food was). I also know that many species of wildlife are very capable of eluding humans on small pieces of ground -fenced or not (e.g. reeves muntjac). So, if the hunt has an extremely large degree of difficulty, I'm going and could care less about the fence. I'm actually off to Texas in May for my eighth attempt at an axis deer with my bow. If it were so easy, I'd already have a buck, right?

So, here's my offer...I am willing to buy your axis deer for you (if you get one), if you are willing to buy mine in return (if I get one).If it's so easy, it'll be a wash, right? When it's over, we'll say we went shopping together.Whatcha say?

Now should we discuss hunting on an island? How big does that need to be before it becomes hunting?
