Yup^^

They need to go to Africa and see for themselves how this works. Then they can make an educated decision.

NP,

Your new sig line is hilarious!!!!! Wonder how long it will be before he gives you an even better, and more outrageous one?

Lol. Couldn't pass it up.

We gotta get the message out that hunters are the first and best conservationists. Billions and billions from taxes like Pittman-Robertson, license fees, etc. Teddy Roosevelt was the greatest conservationist who has ever lived-and an avid hunter.

So, two of the biggest anti HF antagonists on here are touting conservation... That is 90+% accomplished because of high fences. Even African high fences didn't protect oryx, addax, and damas.

I applaud y'all! But at least acknowledge the fact that without HF's this conservation effort would have failed.

The HF and private landowners have saved many African species from extinction.

There are a few species of animals that their numbers are greater in TX then their native home.

Thanks BOBO, I guess I can understand that. Wouldn't they have the same success here in TX on LF?

Yes and no, if a big exotic walked past your stand...what's going to happen to it...

Also remember this a HF to an oryx or pronghorn or blk Buck, etc is a LF to a Whitetail. HF is a relative term.

Truthfully a HF(regardless of height) is only a deterant and then on top of that once you exceed that animals home range the fence is irrelevant.

You really need to do all those HF ranchers a favor and let them know how much $$$ they are wasting on all those useless and irrelevant HFs. There sure are a bunch of those ignoramuses.

Africa is a whole different ballgame. A whole bunch of factors that simply do not apply to NA. (Rampant poaching, corrupt governments, terrible resource management in many areas, etc.)

Many of the hunting concessions in Africa are in fact High Fence.... so does anyone know if this Rhino is in a High Fence Concession? Just curious.

Take the whitetail in my area of south Fannin county. They have lots of browse, grass, shade, cover, water sources, and crops. Yet the numbers appear to be low. So far my assessment of the problem has been narrowed down to two factors. Natural predators and poaching. I have three coyote packs within 3/4 mile of my meager 70 acres. And the man that farms the thousands of acres around me told me of almost monthly sightings of deer carcasses he finds near his cultivated land. The last occurance was in the second week of February. So it isn't a habitat, food or water problem, it is a man problem. But I'll be damned if I spend thousands to erect an 8' fence to contain Texas' deer. I will, however, make a piece of acreage they want to be on and feel mostly safe, if they so choose.
