I refuse to get into this again beyond this post.
you can disagree with something and not be negative. Saying "i don't agree with high fences because of (insert legitimate argument here) isn't a negative statement. Saying "i hayte high fences cause it makes all the animals tame and anyone can kill a 200" buck in a high fence" is
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I wonder if we can bring up tipping at Sonic again now? Hasn't the HF vs LF thread been deleted or locked a number of times?

I have hunted public land my entire life. I have scouted deer months before season, hiked up and down canyon walls for miles, and hunted my butt off for many deerless seasons. I took my first public land mule deer buck two years ago. That being said, this weekend I get the chance to go to a high fenced ranch to cull some unwanted deer. Am i going to miss this opportunity to put some good meat in the freezer? No sir. Am I going to have to change my pants when a 200+ point deer walks by me? Probably. You can not blame people for capitalizing on what they have the means to do, if you want to raise deer for trophy hunters do it. Next year, I'll be back to beating the bush on my public spot . And love every minute of it.
What is with everybody thinking that every High fence ranch has a 200" or better buck on it? That is not the case. I don't think I have a buck much over 160 on my place right now

I'm not for put & take or outside genetics being introduced inside a fence....just going to throw that out there... I agree with that. Dont like any kind of messing with genetics or transporting deer. to be fair, if trapping deer and trasporting them was illegal, half the hunters on the THF wouldn't be hunting them

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

only negative talk i've ever recieved about HF is from people who didn't really know all the much about hunting in texas,period.
There really are two types of HF hunting....Native born and bred stock that is behind a high fence and breeder pen released deer onto a ranch. I am 100% for the former, can't stand the latter.
Really, that's an arrogant statement, even for you and 100% bs. How is that statement arrogant???

well look at the amount of "heated debates" on this site alone, in the state that all the HF's started. u dont think hunters fighting with hunters gives all of us a black eye?
and i could care less about what "northerners" say or think about me, but look at the view of texas hunters from those out of the state, they think we are a joke. my BIL lives in missouri and although it is in good fun, constantly gives me grief about using feeders.
i know HF's and put and take places are in every state, but everyone thinks of texas first when these topics come up.
just like most up there think everyone in texas rides a horse and wears cowboy boots, they like to think we all stare at feeders behind high fences. i had a 30min conversatuon with a lady my wife works with on new years eve about feeding deer all year and waiting for them to show up and killing them. she didnt want to hear anything about food plots or standing corn, she didnt agree with feeding dear, and that was the end of the conversation. that is what we deal with from anti's who like to play on emotions when degrading our sport, they talk about deer in pens and "trapped" behind high fences.
how many people have you ever heard talking down to someone for hunting unfenced public land? its because there is a difference.
sure, most of these arguments stem from ignorance, but most people dont like to logically think through issues, they like to go straight off emotion. So, you admit that the non hunting public knows little about it and already has misguided ideals relating to what they think hunting should be. You also admit that you don't care what people outside of Texas think. Yet, somehow, this all factors in to this black eye I keep hearing about. Sounds to me that it's not the fence that is causing the problem, but the fighting. And which side is the one picking the fight? Which side has a problem with other people and how they choose to hunt and manage their land? Oh yeah....the haters. So where's that black eye really coming from?
