Just wondering how many people hunt in either high or low fenced lands. I am fortunate to hunt a ranch that a relative owns, which is low fenced, but have not killed a deer on yet. Game cams show whats passing through. But i guess thats whats exciting about it, you never know what you'll see....if anything in my case.

I hunt low fence. I've gone shooting on high-fenced places, but wouldn't really call it hunting, but rather trying to fill tags. I know not all high-fenced places are the same, but my experience hasn't been all that positive. I'd never pay to do it. Of course, every property is different.
That said, I've got a friend with over 90,000 acres that are high fenced. I'd imagine you'd have to hunt them pretty hard on that much property.

both....our ranch is high fenced but several of my buddies own both low fence and high fence....contrary to what most people believe, the hunting is just as good on some of the low fence places as it is the high fence places.
type of fence dosen't matter, its whether or not your in good country or not
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

My three leases (220 acres, 250 acres, 7000 acres) are all low fenced, but I wouldn't hesitate to hunt a high fenced ranch as long as there was sufficient acreage and cover.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

No fence, but if I had more money, and more land I would high fence at least 2 sides.

Low... not a fan of the high in general. really, i don't think many people are, in a perfect world...but like mentioned before, if you have a larger tract, putting money in to managing and feeding your wildlife....and you have a neighbor that has 4 hunters on less than 20 acres blasting anything that moves......im putting up some of that net that stretches 8 foot tall.

I tend to agree. I think a significant percentage of high fences go up not because a landowner really wants a high fence, but because of the actions of his neighbors.

I think a significant percentage of high fences go up not because a landowner really wants a high fence, but because of the actions of his neighbors. thats why our went up...we were one of the last in our area to high fence...but we were spending a ton of money on protien not to mention time and patience....we had a 400 acre tract to our west that had a 20 foot tower blind 20 yards off our fence....3 times deer "jumped the fence after the shot" and got onto our property. Guess what we did to remedy that?
