Fair chase is my benchmark. In the first case it is simply a canned hunt and nothing more. The animals have no reasonable chance of excaping and the killing could be compared to a livestock dealer harvesting an animal. This is not hunting regardless of what type of animal is killed. In the second case if sufficient space is fenced with the fence not inhibiting the animals from living a normal life then I don't have a problem with it. A 10,000 acre fenced property still allows for the normal movement and excape of wildgame animals.

No matter how big the property behind the fence you are still farming for deer. Any time you manipulate nature you alter the significance of the outcome. Thats why the Jordan buck will never be equaled.

The jordan buck has been bettered by the hanson buck only in size of antlers. the jordan buck was killed in an era when everyone hunted for meat. you shot any buck you saw. it was rare that any buck survived as long as the jordan buck did. any body can GROW big bucks.

I'm with gadwall. Anytime the habitat is altered to change the deer's range or behavior, it has turned into entertainment. Like a sporting event you pay to watch, or like another guy said, shopping for deer. It sickens me honestly, knowing that these guys are killing huge deer that have nowhere to run and hide. It's not hunting, and they oughta be ashamed. Guess they couldn't kill big deer on their own in the deer's habitat, so they had to make it their own habitat that they have control over. Cheaters. I'd rather kill a dad gum doe at my place than pay thousands to kill a 200 class monster inside a recreational facility. They just need to learn to hunt.

i agree if i ever had the money i would buy a few thousand acres and fence it in more to keep others out and keep out lower class deer

I'm not in favor of a small fence "hunt". If the enclosure is large enough, a few thousand acres depending on the terrain, I dont have any problem with it, also if they want to stock some genetically superior brood stock in the enclosure there is nothing wrong with that.
