The first question I would have for anyone bashing on hunting behind a high fence is have you ever done it? Since you are bashing it I would venture to say no. I have never hunted a high fence ranch but I would bet that a sizeable ranch (even as small as 2000 acres) would just about the equivalent of hunting a normal ranch. The only difference being that your neighbor can't shoot your deer but also you can't shoot his. Most of us are not fortunate enough to hunt large parcels of property so I don't believe anybody that hasn't hunted a high fence operation should pass judgement on the people who provide them or the people who hunt them. I have had an opportunity to hunt an 8000 acre low fence ranch for about 5 years now and I can tell you , there are places on that ranch that I still have not seen; and it ain't due to lack of trying. Unless you have ever been on a place that large you can't get a grasp on just how much property that really is. My point being, most of the high fence ranches in Texas are large, not some 200 acre place. I think anything less than 1000 acres under high fence is probably giving the hunter an advantage. Besides, any outfitter that is worth a darn is going to do his best to put his hunters on game, so really I see no difference in paying an outfitter a lot of money for him to put you on deer whether it be high fence or low fence. Either way you are still "buying" that animal as someone else said.

So are you guys against all types of pay hunting? If not you're being hypocritical IMO.
