RE: High Fences/Exotics
I say to each there own, I call myself a hunter because I do it all from the beginning to end, I scout, set stands, kill my deer, dress it, skin it and process it. When I look in the mirror I can honestly say "I am a hunter".
Do not get me wrong, if I won a free hunt on a LARGE high fenced area I would do it, but when I looked in a mirror I would not call myself a hunter because of a kill on one of these places, I would call myself a shooter.
I have no problem with folks hunting high fence operations as long as they do not try to tell me "I am a hunter". Hunters do it all from begining to end.
I am not saying that hunting certain high fence operations does not involve hunting skills in addition to shooting skills, but 90% of the work is already done for you when you arrive, you do your 5% by shooting the animal and then they take care of the remaining 5%.
