High Fence is Deer "shooting". Not Deer "hunting" IMO

takes the sport out of it
anyone can go sit in a box stand and wait for a deer to walk in front if a guide knows EXACTLY what time that particular deer will be there

Not a fan. But to each his own, I won't dog anyone out for doing it....unless you come to the OB and show your arse and call people who are against it poor, especially if it's your Dad that pays for everything. But that's just a hypothetical.

Depends, a guy next to the land we deer hunt has 2000 ac High Fenced. 2000 ac is a shite load of land and still requires you to hunt the deer.

This, 200 acres vs 2000 or 20,000 makes a huge difference...

I have mixed feelings about high fences. I decided back in the late 90's that I wanted to harvest a big whitetail. I traveled extensively and hunted Saskatchewan and Alberta among others. I finally harvested a legit 140+ free range whitetail a few years later. In its time a 140 was by most measures an outstanding trophy. I put a lot of money, time and sweat equity into getting those deer.
I look at whitetail hunting now and I see many 150+ to 180+ killed each year. A good number of those deer are killed by novices or nonhunters that do it for the social interaction with friends. Many of the hunts are held in high fenced preserves(game farms) that are either quite small(sub 100 acres) or in many cases that have killed off every doe on the property so as to ensure that the bucks dont fight and break off antler tines. It seems to me like the trophy whitetail deer has turned into a commodity that can be bought and sold like shares of stocks or traded like baseball cards. I do hate that. I feel the high fences have reduced the accomplishment of those hunters who tagged a rare and great free range whitetail..
Now, for the hypocrite in me.
If I had a piece of property of less than a few hundred acres and I wanted to manage it, what would I do first? I'd put a fence on it...
I know, I know...

you would fence less than a few hundred acres? that's fish in a barrel, man.

It's a completely different sport/game. IMO.
