I think personal high fence hunting is just as much about the work you put in to grow the biggest bucks possible as it is about shooting.

And correct me if wrong, but millermans are native deer...no?

I would love to low fence our property just to control hogs and predators

Spot on. The management aspect is more fun to me than pulling the trigger. We are all native, and have worked our asses off to get the ranch to where it is.

The people that pay $14k for a trophy are putting food on the table for someone, so I’m not going to fault them. Whatever floats your boat.

Managing a high fence ranch is work, same way that managing a top cattle operation is work. Calling it

hunting

Is where folks are wrong. You're killing livestock.

The work would give me satisfaction. Not the shooting fish in a barrel part.

So he says but we we've all seen plenty of pics of deer hanging around the feeders.

Are you saying wild can't be conditioned at all?

It's shooting fish in a barrel and most of us know that.

I don't care, just don't call it hunting because it isn't.
