NY Bowhunter, I understand your point. I could say that dead or alive....it is now his. Then we could debate that too.

I honestly understand buckeyebuckhntrs thoughts on this, and I agree with him. Every animal should be removed from the land either before, or immediately after the fence is put up.

Now, that is easy for you to say if you do not have a high fence property.

And it is fairly easy for me to say since our biggest high fence pen is 400 acres.

Can you imagine what a job that would be for somebody erecting a 10-15 thusand acre enclosure.

I will let you in on a little secret....not that many years ago I was not in favor of high fences either. Even when I was against them, I sure never wanted the government to tell anybody what they could do on their own land.

I think we ALL agree that is a slippery slope we want to aviod.

Yes, canned hunts a some folks call them can occasionally draw some attention from the news people, but only when they don`t have much to cover.

IMO, that is not a serious issue to the future of our sport.

BTW, the people who get offended when they see this coverage of high fence hunts on the news are usually complaining while stuffing a hamburger down their throat!

Anyway, I respect you opinion on this issue NY Bowhunter, and appreciate the fact that your disagreement with my point of view was done in a civil manner.

Now, I have to get started on my honeydo list so I can go move some stands for the second bow season!
