Pen hunting is NOT real hunting IMHO. I don't care if the fences are low the deer were raised like cattle and are not wild. This is MY outlook but....
Now here are some thoughts to go with my opinion above.
Hunting public hunting land (at least in Wisconsin) is near suicide. It is NOT safe no matter how much blaze orange you're wearing or how many flashing red strobe lights you have on. This is something to consider when taking kids etc. Hunting in an enclosed area would be much safer if you can not get into a lease or buy your own land.
The cost of these "pen hunts" is based on rack size usually. It's not for the low income hunter. Very expensive from what I've seen.
Your "trophy" will not be recognized in B&C or P&Y records. Maybe the Buckmasters club with all of Jackie Bushman's deer.
It might allow someone to hunt a Red Stag or some exotic cheaper then they could going to New Zealand or Argentina. If the hunt is as described by SJAdventures above I could see that.
I don't mean to bash this kind of hunting since for some it is all they can do. It's just not for me.
That is all.
