I only read the initial post but here is my response to that only -

Fencing animals is anti-hunting

www.m-w.com

anti means opposed to, opposite to, and fencing takes away a big part of what hunting is. WHY are the fences there? WHY are the animals stocked/bred/fed like they are ?

we all know the reason GMAT - to take much of the "hunt" out of hunting, to make the kill almost guaranteed or in most cases for sure guaranteed, to remove everything that is pre-hunting that you should be doing with your son, to make the kill bigger horns, more exotic ..... especially the small fenced places that are shoot and kills.


if you want to teach your son that, thats your choice and animals are here for us to use. take him there, let him kill an animal, eat it ..... but there is no hunting there, you've taught him NOTHING about hunting as a sport, as a heritage.

instead what you've taught him is that money and high fences can bypass hard work and the time/effort that really is suppose to go into hunting.


you can argue you want him to become interested in hunting more, the have success blah blah blah all you want to, but bottom line, you can't shortcut hunting, you can't take most of what hunting is OUT and still call it hunting.
