i do think the fence is a little much. i would properly not hunt one. if it was free. i am not going to tell you i will not take a free hunt. not sure weather i would or not. but if i did go to a fence outfitter. i would not be on herethe next day telling you guys how i hunted down this big 180 class deer. because it is not hunting. but i do not see anything wrong with someone hunting on one. more then likely it will not be me.
The only different isee in hunting a high fence 3000 plus acres and qdmaisyou do not have complete control of what deer come and go from your area. and it doestake away from fair chase i think there is some fair chase left but not much.
I think there is alot of reasons not to do it and not to many to do it.
As for what the anti hunters think F*CK the anti hunters i could really care less what they think.and yes i mean every word of that.
The days of me caring weather someone care weather i hunt fish watch rated r movies and play shooting video game end along time ago.
We should not think bads about a type of hunting just because the antis dislike it or want to use it for a reason. to stop hunting.
I have mixedfeelings about high fence.
i have mixedfeelings about people hunting a outfitter where the guy says sithere over some bait and wait for the deer to come by and eat.
To me you loose when you even hunt with an outfitter where they scout they hang the stand drag the deer out and gut it.

who are you to say what is moral right ethical or good.
because its my hunting heritage, my hunting future and more importantly my son's that's being attacked and high fenced shooting is fuel for anti-hunters and non-hunters that's why
heck one day having black slaves was the right thing moral and ok. but not know.
thats right, when the people who said it wasn't right didn't allow those who thought it was to do whatever they wanted ! they stepped in, said what was right and wrong and changed things to the way they're suppose to be
thank God they did too
i meant when deer have 5000 acres to roam around there not in a small area where you say hey can i shoot that one.
why is the fence there ? the truthful answer is to take away the fair chase, to better ensure a kill and for big horns
none of that is hunting
genetics is a big part of hunting if you see a buck with bad antlers year after year you kill him
if you spend thousands growing big deer you want to keep deer that are not big do not have big antlers out. be it a fence or shooting those deer.
you don't know what hunting is - what you just described is big antler deer farming
horn porn 90% of you anti fence guys care only for the rack on the deer. I hear people say i hate high fence opts. only reason you hunt one is for a big buck.
Alot of you guys hunt for bucks only even in public land
hunting mature bucks is one thing, when you build fences, alter genetics, breed bucks etc ....... good gawd surely you can see the difference ?
