RE: Poll on hunting in high fences.
No I prefer to hunt animal without a fence. Hunting is a personal choice and to me more than the harvest but the experience, fun, relaxation, work, preperation, not knowing what is out there or around the bend, basically can be summed up to "the journey" to get to the harvest is what makes hunting such a great sport.
editted the post b/c I read others comments and agree that it could be viewed as bashing. It was not my intent, I included some comments to say if your happy that is all that is important but then contradicted myself in the next sentence, I appologize if it offended anyone.[:'(]

Not going to come down on one side or another of this argument, but I wanted to show NYB... read the posts.
Basically, if you allow the deer to go to a place where there are public land hunters, your management practices go for nothing.
We are talking about miles to range and these guys feed a very expensive protein feed while bucks are in velvet. I dont blame them for high fencing because if he was to cross the fence and was a 140 class deer then you know what will happen.
