Yeah. High fence hunting, you actually have to figure out where the deer will be and make a good shot. A starved 10lb bass in a stocked pond will hit a bare bream hook.

Go try.

That sugarass doesn't know the difference.

Jelous of what? Try-hard high fence hunters?

Now if you'll all excuse me, I'm going to go start a thread on pen raised quail and watch Wick have a meltdown.

Yall act as if it takes zero ability to manage a heard even inside of a high fence.

1. Fence area.
2. Wait two years
3. ????
4. Profit

Now I have older deer that can't escape, no one else can shoot, have had no pressure on them and I probably have dropped some good feed on them the last two years.

Doesn't really seem like rocket science.


Exactly what else is there.

I also feel like duck hunting pit blinds in flooded fields or areas with pumps to control water level is analogous to guys hunting deer inside of high fences. Butts will hurt, but sorry, it's not natural habitat.

Ok are you specifically talking only about paid one time pick out your trophy for $15k+ and leave? Huge difference IMHO between that and an owned/leased piece of land that you are managing...

You had me until this point. I've been duck hunting for close to 25 years now, and I've never walked away from a successful hunt feeling prouder if the birds were killed in an area that didn't have water levels controlled. Ducks CHOOSE to come to that field and they can choose to leave if they want. There are plenty of lakes for them to land on! (Naturally occurring lakes, of course...because duck hunting man made lakes is cheating.)

Exactly. High fence around a few thousand acres is COMPELTELY different than a canned hunt with a fence around a small parcel of land filled with breeders buck with non native genetics. The guys in Texas laugh at all you silly fricks who spend hours and hours on public land to watch a deer who will probably be shot by some coonass fricktard the minute after you let him pass.
