Here are the statitistics for last years hunts. These are conducted on high fenced properties owned by the state of Texas. Or WMA's. There are no supplement feeding programs that go on in these areas, only QDM.

The overall success for all the hunts combined was a 43% success rate.

Heres a link, you can click a few different ones at the top of the page,
Notice the Chapparrell WMA (15,000 acres) on the archery hunt. 100 hunters- 5 days-3 kills. I was there on one of these hunt dates. 90 hunters and no one killed a deer in 3 days.
Only the WMA's are high fenced. You'll notice the antelope hunt which is a free ranging hunt had a 100% success rate
Hardly a petting zoo. 43% success rate averaged. I hunt private free range land and see no difference in hunting, both are challenging

Z,
I have to agree with you here! I think that some people don't understand the difference between high fence and "canned hunting"!
Some don't realize that some high fenced ranches cover several square miles! Thats not exactly a "pen!"
