RE: 2 high fence senarios. Yes or NO?
These are totally different situations! One is a "canned hunt" pure and simple! The other, several thousand acres, thats fair enough for me! I'll grant you that your chances on a big, high fenced area are going to better than average. But you are probably going to pay a better than average fee to hunt a place like that. I'm not one that is going to pay that much, but not everyone has the time to put into scouting and hunting the average open land or cheaper places. Some are not "trophy hunters," they just want a good chance to score on a good deer and have fun in a shorter time frame, and less effort.
So, to sum it up, "high fence" is not always "canned hunting." My only peeve is that some of these folks like to make out like they are trophy hunters, when they are not!
