RE: What would you guys do?
If I worked there, I would feel duty bound as a hunter to help the company manage the herd within their security zone. Naturally, I wouldn't enjoy it one bit. 
It's 7700 acres of free hunting, fer cryin' out loud! I'd consider it part of my employee benefit package.

Ihunted with walker dogs on a lease that was only 8000 acres with a river swamp on three sides. So there should be no reason you cain't still hunt that piece and feel good about it--And like ArthurP said its your duty.

I would never "high fence hunt" for deer. . .but when I say that, I'm talking about private ranches with"grown" deer and huge profits.Your circumstances are very different.
-You're not paying to kill a huge buck.
-You're noteven guarenteed a shot. That's a HUGE piece of ground!
-The fence isn't there to keepdeer in.
IMO, it'ssimilar tohunting a military base, and I see no problem withthat.

This is not what I would call a High Fence Hunt. You have a huge range of land and a natural deer herd that has not been modified with trophy deer lines and managed for trophy hunting. You have a secured area that has a contained natural herd, go for it and slam a good buck!

7800 acres. That is 12.1875 square miles. You might have to do a lot of work to get one on the ground. Go for it. I don't think anyone can rap on you for doing it fairly, especially since you are doing it all yourself with no guide.

i personally would go it is just like going to an outfitter but guiding yourself at least with this you have to scout it and prepare everything yourself and i think it would be fun try it out and who knows once you get that first big one you might never go back
