GMMAT, It's always good to get different points of view, but in the end, it's all up to how both you and your son feel about it. I'm going bow hunting with my son (who's 25) for the first time this fall. We have had the high fence discussion before, in fact he brought the topic up after watching a hunting show. His comment was "That's not hunting." I came back with the place they showed was several hundred acres and it's not like they tied the deer up in front of the shooter. And his response was something like "I don't care, it's still not hunting. They have tons of animals in there that are not allowed to roam freely, its not hunting." His friend who had been quiet up to that point said "I'd do it in a heartbeat! Think of it, you don't have to sit out there for weeks on end hoping a deer might come by, you know there will be one coming by."

So, it really doesn't matter what each one of us here think about it, it is completely about you and your son's attitudes towards it. Discuss it with him and see how he feels about high fence hunting.

Best of luck on this one.
