Default RE: Deer Hunting Behind Fences

Fencing in deer is not in their natural tendencies. Sure, they may never know the fence is there and are wild as can be. Yeah, they keep people out, but so do low fences.

TX and Georgetown and you high fence supporters, think of this: Yearling bucks disperse on average 3-5 mile from the area they were born in every spring-early summer. When you take that into consideration, it means that you're preventing the deer from dispersing properly like they do in nature. Therefore, it is not fair chase, and not ethical. You're basically saying that YOU own the deer and nobody else can shoot them. Just you. Sure, you can own the land and the hunting rights to it. But those deer are not YOURS. They can roam wherever possible, and should not be limited by something man made in order for a person or a group of persons to have to themselves. Slobbish and snobbish is what it is.
