It takes all kinds to make the world go around. I have been fortunate to have Bowhunted 13 States & 2 Canadian provinces for a wide variety of Biggame. 95% of these have been Public land AND DIY. I've been fortunate to have had some guided Bowhunts & all but 2 were Law required. So, I pretty much done it all in 57 years of Bowhunting. Oh, yes, 38 Biggame animals with recurves & mostly wood arrows b/4 Compounds too.
That being said, I've done some HF bowhunting for Exotics & Hogs on places of 1200 through 4000 acres. Yep, fenced. I & 2 of my adult Kids I treated to these hunts had a great time. We know exactly what it is/was and yes, STILL had a great time.. I plan on more down the road & none have been like shooting at a ZOO animal. I was very skeptical b/4 I went on my 1st & actually researched places for nearly 2 years b/4 booking my 1st. Unfortunatly, there are places that aren't like hunting & kinda like you mentioned BUT I've not been to one anywhere close to that.
Unfortunatly, everyone on a DIY hunt doesn't set the best example either-yep, we got some real A-H-L-S out there.
Now, since I've been on BOTH sides of the fence & probably done what most will only dream of, I think someone needs to get a life... I have 2 out of state DIY Whitetail Bowhunts planned, 1 Antelope DIY-all public land for this year AND TWO HF hunts..
Oh, I also have an autistic G-son & I can't imagine trying to set him straight on something like the difference in a hunt. You really do have a problem..
