I think this poll shows it is a very small minority 7% that really wants to limit HF or "angry about someone else hunting it". I'm a little more surprised at all the anger towards those like me that don't hunt HF, but don't mind if others do. It is like many want to make it illegal to be a LF only hunter, even if we don't care you hunt HF.

Indescriminate killing?

Sometimes its just does not go as planned.....

People will choose to Hunt just as EXACTLY as they want to...

This! And although I think high fence hunting is fine if thats what you want to do, record animals killed inside a high fenced area should be recorded separately from free roaming animals. At least there should be an asterisk or something to denote that fact.

If you really don't care either way you wouldn't have started a poll. These HF debates should be viewed as trolling.

Honestly I've never killed anything larger than a yote and hogs on a HF and probably never will, so somehow now I'm a better hunter than the other guys...Just typing that last part seemed dumb.

HF/LF is of course just an opinion, I am a Capitalist in the truest sense of the word, so if you own it, you can build a dome around it and charge whatever anyone will pay for all I care, just don't brag about as it isn't, has never been and will never the same accomplishment as killing something unrestrained by a barrier it cannot cross no matter what the acreage said barrier is surrounding.

to spell it out I think poll makes a point that more of the trolling and hate is towards LF guys than the other way around. hopefully the THF community can be the better for it, as you see from my register date, posts, and donation I care about the community.

If you notice on the poll - only one option is selfish enough to think that another option should be outlawed. That sums it up pretty well.

Misquote of the year.

Huh. And all this time I thought most of the trolling and hate came from the low fence purists who have disdain for anyone who hunts any other way.

Nah man is all the HF guys mad at everyone for hunting LF...

I think I've been pretty consistent in saying everyone needs to please themselves and not worry about other people's opinions. All I ask is that hunts be honestly represented. I live in an area where deer drives are common, I don't particularly care for them, other people can do them, I do care when they screw up my public land hunt. I do appreciate HF ranches because they aren't affected much by neighboring ranches, after dealing with the circus of public land hunting privately held ranches, HF or LF, are a welcome change.

I've been perusing and lurking on this forum since '09, and I can tell you that the ONLY thing this poll proves is that hunting season is just around the corner and all the 'natives' are starting to get restless and their necks are starting to swell! (or it's just a really slow day on THF ?)

I would like to believe you Rob, but as is pointed out above, the poll itself says the opposite.

If we want to look at the big picture, let's look at the fact that you are a member of the Hall of Shame, the list of members that have been banned from this site along with your elitist hunting compadre, Nogalus Prairie who was recently added to the list for his participation in these same type of threads.

While we are all talking about it...

I try to avoid the exotic section because I don't agree with it. I know buddies who have shot sheep literally in pens just to have a head on the wall.

I find it funny that there is a subforum entitled exotic "hunting" and the first post is for the live sale of a bull elk. Rings more to livestock to me than hunting, but that's why I try to stay away from that section, I smh every time I see that post on the main page.

I don't think that is a good/fair point. Who decides what is deemed "elitist"? the largest group?
If you go "there" because you disagree with the "click", it is censorship IMO. If it is for arguing ect tra, then there should be many more names on that "list". Just because you don't agree with some, should not mean you get "camp" time. There are several who actually "troll" regularly, that have yet to be on there. There has been many "participants" in those threads.

So what's the difference in someone selling trophy deer hunts for bucks that score a certain number of inches?

I don't think your giving the mods enough credit for what they do Dennis.

I've never seen a ban for disagreeing with the majority of opinions.

I don't find it coincidental that this survey pops up after NP was banned.

Oh there he is...how did you get that video of him?

I agree and it's a shame. I just don't get it and don't understand how that is enjoyable or rewarding. Again, if it ever comes down to that being the only way to "hunt" or pretend to hunt, I'd rather just give it up. Maybe I could then have enough time to post 10,000+ posts on the hunting forum instead of spending time outside living it.....

Who knows you can sell hunts for big bucks by the inch low fence free range or out of a breeder pen. I just tend to believe if its loaded on a trailer its more or less livestock than hunting. Which is why I avoid that section of the forum.

I didn't even know NP was banned.

I agree with you 100% never seen a ban on THF for the HF guys, who are in the majority of users and especially mods. I got my ban for breaking the rules. Don k attacked me and I defended myself adequately. Mods didn't remove don k's attack, but removed my defense. I then questioned the mods in a post. Simple, don't critique the mods no matter what.

Any more comparisons of countries and what is what?

I don't think hunting any of God's wonderful and delicious creatures is right.

red - I've killed several axis, all of them low fence. Granted, the section can resemble a livestock auction sometimes, but to "not agree" with an exotic section?

'Just thought I'd check in here. 'Seems to be going really well.
