So, using that same logic, it doesn't seem to me that a 5000 acres fenced in area would necessarily make it any easier to hunt other animals. See where I am coming from?
I see where your coming from Bruce. But, You can't compare bear to a deer Bruce. They are 2 completely different animals. The tactics I use to hunt deer would not work in the least to hunt a bear. Sit on a trail, see a deer and possibly shoot a deer. Sit on a trail bear hunting, very unlikely to see a bear where I hunt.

I'm not comparing deer to bear, I am comparing hunting over bait to hunting in a fence.

You cannot compare bear baiting/hunting to high fence hunting. Thats crazy!!

You are using artificial means (bait/fence) to get the game you are after.

I haven't read the entire thread as I currently don't have the time or energy to do so, but here is my experience.

I hunted a high fence operation while living in FL. It was a club that allowed you to hunt the property for a fee to see if you would be interested in joining. The property was somewhere in the 10,s of thousands of acres. For some reason 22,000 is sticking in my head. Anyway the only time I saw a fence was when we entered and left the gated area. Other than that it was like hunting any of the WMAs I hunted in FL.

I had a successful hunt and killed a hog with my bow, but decided not to join the club. It had nothing to do with the fence and more with the cost and service and accomodations at the place.

I would hunt a place similar to that again if it were better organized.

That's the DEFINITION of a double standard.;)
This should say," In my opinion ", instead of "Thats the DEFINITION of ", since you lack experience on 2 out of the 3 areas you are making the statement on.

My hog hunt last July was at a high fenced operation. By far, the most physically strenuous (and dangerous) hunt I've been on.
One thing, I have noticed about wild hogs. If you give them room to escape, you will never get charged. If they get cornered, and push comes to shove, you can get ran over fairly quickly by hogs.

[joke] I heard in KY, hogs really hate to get cornered, not because they're scared of dieing either:D[/joke]

Its the only fricking way to do it where I hunt!!!!!!! I stated earlier I've bear hunted for 17 years and I've been successful 9 of them 17 years. Do the math Bruce. High fence hunt, the stats would blow mine out of the water!

So, you're saying that if you had 5000 acres fenced where you bear hunt now, you could have killed a bear 17 out of 17 years without using bait?
