Yes if you are going by state law you are "legally hunting", but state law aside, in my opinion (the point I was trying to make) is I don't feel like I am really hunting unless I am taking animals ( in my opinion ) that are wild. Which means they can travel in the wilderness as far as they want to without finding a fence. Deer can swim, cross roads, etc. but they can't jump these fences. Deer travel around 7 miles from the spot they were born (natures way of lowering the chance of imbreeding) to establish their new area within their first 2 years, and some bucks travel much further during the rut. Also, in my opinion, if they are raised and released I do not consider them truly wild, they were not born and raised naturally in nature. If someone wants to shoot fenced deer, bottle raised deer, or genetically breed pen deer within areas such as been discussed, I don't have anything against it, but I don't call it hunting. That's just my opinion.
