Look, sorry tx's guys, I didn't mean to be offensive, it's just that I prefer free-ranging *all the time*, big body weight *all the time* over a big, but usually skinny body/racked deer. I have a cousin from Houston, TX and he bowhunted there and loved it. I just think it deals with the fact of the first deer I seen in life was a big-bodied deer from Ohio. I think fair-chase is determined by the fact that a deer can run and not be caught up with, not cornered by a fence or nothing. Fair chase as I think goes, is when an animal was free-ranging and has the unlimited room to escape from danger if the case need-be. Sometimes even a low-fence can keep deer in, don't get me wrong we have a lot of regular farm fences here in Ohio, but a 8-12 foot fence is just making it kind of cheap; especially since the fact you guys in tx can use those high-powered rifles you shouldn't need the aid of high-fences. Again- sorry for any hard feelings toward ya's,
