Default Hunting fenced in animals

Does anyone think it is ethical to hunt fenced in animals.. I know there are places you can pay to hunt animals that are stocked in a fenced in area. I know Pa has a place on the susquehanna river that is an 80 acer islandand they will stock rams, hogs, and other animals then put drives on for you untill you get them... I also heard that they have a 3 acer whitetail hunt that is fenced in... After all this Mike Vick stuff I can see this type of hunting being outlawed... any opinions??? I know I would never pay money to hunt like that... I don't even consider that hunting...

I believe the guy that runs that show down by the river use to be a game warden. What a joke I would never pay to shoot an animal in a fence!!

There's one about an hour from our house. Whenever we pass it I always look at the big racks they have over the gates and think to myself what a joke the place must be.

I would never shoot an animal in high fence either. I personally am all for Fair Chase.

Doesn't interest me, although it depends on the fence area acreage wise. If you want to hunt Africa, 90% of the hunts that I have checked into, are all high fence. It may be a 12,000 acre compound, but it is still high fence. You will never see the fence and would never know there was one thereunless you asked the question. The owners deal in Kudus, wildebeast, impalas, etc, like a rancher here deals in cattle. So I guess it all matters on the acres involved.

I think fenced in hunts are a great idea for the right people. If you are able and all together there i dont think you should be hunting in a fence, but if you have a handicap of any sort i think it is totally logical. just my opinion
