Perhaps for you.

All I have to go on are my personal experiences from three decades of filming hunts. As I mentioned, I've hunted numerous places in Kansas, Ohio, Iowa and Illinois that the first morning out, we killed our target buck.

At the same time, I've worked in high fence operations, 600 acres and larger that we never saw our target buck.

I'm not sure how my factual experiences defies logic. As I stated, I've also hunted high fence operations that were an absolute joke, where killing a deer wasn't a matter of if, but which one you wanted.

I personally wouldn't spend money to hunt in a high fence area. Hell, I wouldn't spend money to hunt deer high fence or free range, but to each his own.

Perhaps for you.

Perhaps to everyone. Is your position that some people spend money on high fences to make the hunting harder?

Perhaps your viewpoint on hunting is a little skewed because of your experience which is different that 99.99999% of all hunters.

I hunt my own land and let me tell you, you spend money to hunt deer no matter where you do it. You either spend it directly (gas, equipment, land, etc) or you pay someone else.

Would I love to fence my land to keep bucks from walking on neighboring land? Sure, but I wouldn't do it operating under the illusion that I am somehow making the hunt harder for myself.
