I went hunting at High Adventure Ranch it is a high fence ranch I believe 5 square miles. I had fun but it aint really hunting they took me out and within 30 minutes of riding we found the animal and were within thirty yards the animals were not wild at all. But who knows the place you are going may be different.

I HAVE bowhunted some High fence operations for Exotics & hogs. It is not like real hunting as most things are in place for you-stands, feeders ect. I did this to expand my off season time in the field & to bowhunt animals I could not afford to go after in their native country. I have not Bowhunted the (guarentee kill-no kill, no pay) places. I've gone to facilities of 1000 to 4000 acres. It is fun but not like a true hunt. Yes, the animals were always wary & not always could you get a shot with a Bow. You "usually" see something though.
I Bowhunted a place that had a Axis herd & I wanted to try for one-I went on 2, 4 day trips & 1, 8 day trip & got ONE SHOT in that time at the only antlered Axis I saw. You were allowed 1 hog & 1 Antlered Exotic on a 1200 acre facility. I had 1 shot at a hog I missed & 1 shot at one I killed in those same trips. Cost was $1000 for 4 days of lodging & Bowhunting & no extra for a kill. I did take an Exotic on each of those Bowhunts other than the Axis since I saw none except once.
It is fun & can be challenging if the place is good size & not a guarentee but remember, they are in a fence...Enjoy your trip.
I took a Red Deer on another 4 day Bowhunt & they are DELICIOUS, same as our Elk....

I guide on both game estate (high fence) and free range. They`re both challenging in there own respects as the animals know when your hunting them. It also depends on the size of the propertys, our smallest is 5000 acres with both woodland, open country and rocky outcrops in the hills so from that point of view it is very much a fair chase hunt there. I find that both high fence and free range animals are very similar. The two main differances that affect the meat is quality of feed, and time of year ie are they in the rut or middle of winter in the snow ect. But its all good, after all thats what hunting is all about right?
