"YUP... we really do enjoy bashing pens. After all, pen hunters are the only hunters who keep trying to justify their "Hunting" to other hunters. They keep coming back for approval and converts and when they don't get any..... they tell us how tough it really is. Why it's tougher than hunting the world."


I think most of us "pen hunters" couldnt care less what other others think. Personally I dont give a damn what anybody thinks, and there is nobody that I have to get approval from when I decide to do something. The only time we ever try to stress our points is when somebody starts bashing what we do. Now I dont call this "getting approval", unstead I call it standing up for the things you do and enjoy, which I hope every hunter out there will do if the circustance ever arises.


Now I've hunted on high fenced ranches that varied from 1,000 to 40,000 acres and I can honestly say that these hunts were no easier or harder then any hunt I've been on before. Sure there not as hard as chasing dahl sheep in Alaska, but neither is setting in a treestand on the edge of a corn field in Illinois. I have a friend who owns a 2,500 acre high fence ranch, the only people who hunt out there is a few family members and
2-3 friends. If I didnt see the high fence when I first entered the ranch, then I would have never known that I was hunting a high fenced ranch, and this is the case on all the ranches I've been on.

No matter if I'm hunting on a high fence or low fence ranch, its all the same. Its just me with a gun/bow running around spotting/stalking/shooting an animal.
