re: Let's talk about high fence hunting

Depends how many acres are high fence. 300 acres...... cheating, 10,000 acres..... pretty fair

I know some people that have high fenced property, 1000 acres roughly, and they have pictures of massive deer on camera that no one can ever seem to see on stand. Some high fences are different. I've heard of places that have all the deer named and know the each deer schedule down to the minute now that isn't hunting at all. I think it depends on the property.

I have a friend whose family has 6800 acres fenced.

They have 45 food plots (4-5 acres each) and about 1100 acres are in mature hardwoods. The rest is in a mixture of planted pines and pastures and some CRP land.

They probably put out 50-60 game cameras.

I am always amazed it is rare that a buck is shot that we can find on camera. Lots of deer killed that are not on film and lots of deer on film that are never killed.

(they kill what the biologist tells them to kill every year)
