I agree, the idea of the high fence used for good purposes or notis fueling the fire of anti-hunters. It amazes me about how much politics and economics are behind it though.

To further add to this, manufactured animals are artificializing the trophy. The deer antlers hanging in my office (nottaken on a high fence)are by no means record book material, but they are my trophy and memories. However, when others drop by, they comment on how small they are compared to the ones they conquered at the deer farm. This is nothing new though. Anyone familiar with the history of wildlife management should recognize the name of Aldo Leopold, considered by many as the Father of Wildlife Management who wrote the first textbook on game management. In one of his books (1938) he writes of artificial management and the value of the trophy; decimating other animal populations to make game more plentiful. If anyone's intersted, google the story Conservation Esthetic by Aldo Leopold. He was probably more of a hunter than any of us will ever be.
