if ya gonna hunt a fence, save the money and ya can usually find a lease..not for $350 who-ever mentioned that, but most of those cheap places charge trophy fee's, guide tip, tip the cook, the 4 wheeler needs a tip too, and the guy who dragged the deer and so on..check and see what ya can get a lease for. then ya can go out all season!

Why knock one person's choice of hunting when he may go to a place that is first rate.Quality of the place to hunt being low or high fence is rather subjective it all depends on what you can afford and what you have experienced so I would like for him to go and form his own opinions and report back on how he feels afterwards.This is close to the xbow,long bow,compound,verses firearm debate...we're knocking someone else wanting to get amongst the joy of hunting.I still stand my ground of go out do it and report back with pictures to anyone who goes afield! That ain't 2 cents thats the whole dang dollar for ya!

high fenced hunts
My two first hunts where on private fenced properties for two reasons.
First of all, I haven't got a hunting licence yet and second of all because of the price. The fact that I did't know if I had it in me to shoot an animal played a roll all so.
it was a 10 square mile fenced woodland area and like some of you said, here in Europe they fence these places just to keep the bad people out and the animals in.
First time I had a doe down after 1,5h in my stand.
Second time, last saturday, I saw maybe 20 wild boar but no shooting options. It's like a normal hunt, you can scout for a day, choose the place to hang your stand. And then, if you want, the rangers just do a walk through so the animals move.

I think your opinion might be different if you have actually hunted one. Hunting a high-fenced operation from 500 acres and up is nothing like hunting in a zoo. But I do understand your mentality about it. I've only hunted high-fenced once for hogs. I'm not against it at all but it's not my preferred way to hunt.

I would go and take a shot if it was offered to me. Enjoy your hunt. Heck, not much difference if your lucky enough to hook up with the right people for hunting. I hunt residential areas with a person who has mastered gaining permission in awesome spots. The very fact that people choose to hunt that way is the reason those animals are alive.
