Would it make you happy if it was a 5000 acre fenced area with a no shoot zone within 200 yards of the fence?

Listen up guys, the fence is there for a reason. And I think some of you guys are confused as to what the reason is. These land managers invest alot of $$$$ to have a better hunting enviroment. It is an investment, the fence protects the investment. Simple enough! I really can't take your arguments seriously if you are gonna argue that a 5000 acre high fenced area is not legitimate hunting. I wonder if you guys have a clue how big 5000 acres is?

Now, where do I draw the line?
10acres? Too small
100 acres? Too small even though alot of deer can hide in 100 acres.
1000 acres? Sounds like we got us the beginnings of a serious hunt. Still depends on how the operation is run.

Now if I go to this 1000 acre enclosure and pick my deer out of a catoloque and then go shoot it that aint hunting!!!! But if get lucky and harvest one of many nice deer on a piece of well managed property then I'm a happy camper. If you don't want my deer in the record book that's also fine with me.

Heck boys, I could make the argument that any of you guys that hunt out of permanently erected stands such as tower stands "aint huntin". Shooting over bait piles and feeders "aint huntin". Using high powered rifles to make 200+yard shots on power lines and fields "aint huntin". If you hunt anything other than public land and you do anything to alter the land to make it a better hunt, then you "aint huntin either!!!!!!!!"

Now, where'd I leave my spear sharpener?
