Sounds easy to me knowing she is going to kill a 280" or whatever it is opening day of gun season.
Unless their place is tiny, its not always that easy.

If I had a high fence, here is a list of things I would incorporate:
- 1,500 acres
- 75% Mature hardwoods
- a portion of timber flooded and designated to duck hunting (250 acres)
- bow hunt only, unless letting kids shoot culls
- climber and lock on only with exception of a couple of boxstands in clearings for kids to shoot culls
- Feed minerals and supplement in offseason/ food plots during season. No hunting over bait.
- No game cameras
- Least amount of motorized vehicle use as possible.

This is correct.
Depending on how big the ranch is, it could take as much as a hour of waiting before the deer comes to the feeding trough. Its not always as easy as just poking the rifle through a fence and baang.

Some places around us totally cleaned house after they put up their fence and brought in an entire new herd.
They aren't going to start hunting the super herd for maybe 3-4 more years from what the biologist has advised them. The only hunting they are going to do is to continue to wipe out the rest of the population which has some pretty decent shooters and shoot their exotics.

why no cameras?

High fence hunting isn't near as easy as you think....

because it would add to the mystique, not knowing exactly what you had in there. I would have a biologist come in and let me know what I need to shoot on the property, but I would like to at least salvage some of the element of surprise.

We are 0-8
but you also have to take into account the terrain, typical South Texas hunting is a lot different than most other places around the country. Posted on 11/13/13 at 10:44 am to NicoBlues

One of the first things he will ask you is if you have any game camera pics or game logs from the stands for him to take a look at. If not, an areal survey will have to be done (which are awesome but also very expensive).

Oh I understand. And that was strictly my dream property.

Then that's what I would have to do.. I have a couple of buddies with some planes that I would trade a deer hunt for a flyover.

Yep...folks think you go sit on stand for 5 minutes and choose 1 out of 12 150"+ bucks you want to shoot...

Then why are many high fence outfitters guaranteed kill? I don't care what anyone else likes to hunt, but I do hold fair chase bucks in higher regard. That's not to say it's easy, but it is definately easier than fair chase
I do hate Keith Warren tho

One of my childhood friends' family purchased 7300+ acres in south central Texas in 1991. This area is known for 150+ class bucks on a regular basis, with a few 185+ thrown in every 10 yrs or so. Their particular place wasn't high fence entirely but sections had been due to neighboring ranches putting lots of hunting pressure on their herd. They immediately high fenced the entire ranch (close to 23 miles of high fence!) joined MLD and began a managment program. No deer were brought in or interfered with other than feed (protein off season/corn during season) and water. They are now producing some incredible animals. I'm not aware of any 200" deer taken from the place but there have been at least two 190+".
TLDR:
A 223" deer is incredible anywhere if there wasn't a brought in or a brood buck.

Too bad about the nasty stickers.

I guarantee I can go to a the e3 ranch in Kansas or one of the 5 clubs in fort Adams or a lease in fayette and they can guarantee me a kill on a 3 day hunt too...
In fact I've been to all 3 and killed everytime on all 3..

You are going to kill a deer no matter what. Just depends on what kind of deer. They have so many deer in some places that you can pick and choose the deer you want.
