I think what a lot of people think about hunting high fences, is that if that buck wants to get away or go over that fence to the other sidebut can't, then he is penned up, as simple as that. If somebody beleived in 100% fair chase along with "protecting their investment" then they start with quality deer management, by giving them good food sources, controlling predatation, culling certain deer, and equalizing the ratio, without having to put them in an enclosure to do so. Yes it's easier when they're penned up to do this as everyone knows, but then you're hunting in a pen.

I've hunted large tracts of land (4X5 miles roughly) and knowing that a certain deer will always be there no matter what happens, how bad I spook him, how many times I drive him, or whatever, even at that size, just isn't fair chase IMO. The deer are trapped. But everybody has their own. Everyone has their own definition of fair chase. Everybody has their own opinion and I respect that. Just not for me. It's just a discussion and my 2 cents.
