As for producing high quality animals under very controlled conditions, the proper term for that is farming/ranching.[>:]

RE: Your Thoughts on High Fenced Hunting
My biggest concern on this topic is the sense of ownership of game animals that it seems is inherent. I can certainly understand the frustration of putting a lot of effort into managing land for deer only to have the deer being shot by the neighbors who may let anyone and everyone shoot anything and everything, but that is just as much their right (as long as it is legal) as it is your right to only shoot mature deer. Putting up a fence just seems to say "these are my deer and you can't have them". I don't believe WILD game can be owned by any individual. If you have enough land that the hunting being done on the land is indeed fair chase, why do you need a fence?

Until I lived in Texas and new folks who own high fence places I thought Heck no. But then you find out that all the folks around you shoot babies, what's game management,and don't hesitate to come into your land and or shoot across your fence.
So. . . . .the high fence is more to keep the dirt bags out and protect your hard work from folks who have no business being in the woods.

BTW, to my knowledge the only highfence WMA is in Kerr county, and is one of the hardest to get a permit on. The main reason it is highfence is that TPWD has used the grounds as a management experimentation area, doing research and whatnot on the deer herd.

RE: Your Thoughts on High Fenced Hunting
Free range fair chase is the only way to go for the real hunter. High fenced hunting is a busines for those that are not willing and or able to put in the effort. Money can buy anything. I could never put a mount up on the wall that came from a pen. There are many hard working guides that work free ranges. Guiding and fencing are two different issues that should not be confused.
