RE: Time to see...
I haven't read the entire thread as I currently don't have the time or energy to do so, but here is my experience.
I hunted a high fence operation while living in FL. It was a club that allowed you to hunt the property for a fee to see if you would be interested in joining. The property was somewhere in the 10,s of thousands of acres. For some reason 22,000 is sticking in my head. Anyway the only time I saw a fence was when we entered and left the gated area. Other than that it was like hunting any of the WMAs I hunted in FL.
I had a successful hunt and killed a hog with my bow, but decided not to join the club. It had nothing to do with the fence and more with the cost and service and accomodations at the place.
I would hunt a place similar to that again if it were better organized.
