Where's lil chit? We need his expert commentary lol. If you read this lil chit it's always all in fun! Have a good day at school tomorrow.

But in all seriousness, animal behavior is not molded or shaped by the height of the fence they are enclosed in.

This AGAIN!!!?!?!??!?!??!?!??!?

LOL just saw it now man.



For the record, HF rocks.

I refuse to get into this again beyond this post.

But I simply am calling BS on that first sentence. I am Texas born,Texas raised, and have hunted in Texas for over 40 years. I know many, many people with similar backgrounds. The vast majority of us deplore HF "hunting" and what it is doing to our once-great state for hunting.

So if you haven't heard any negative talk about HF it's either because they are talking behind your back or you are just refusing to listen.

Heck,you've heard alot of negative talk from guys who hunt in Texas just on this forum.

I guess all I am saying is it's fine to try and make your case but don't BS an ol' BSer.

u should have just stayed away.

It can have an effect, though.

I hate this debate. By biggest problem is painting all HFs with one brush. I don't think you can equate a 1000+ acre tract that happens to have fenced property lines, with shooting deer in a pen. There are just too many variables to discuss HFs in generic terms: native herd/exotics/managed herds/stocked mature deer, etc.... I agree with fair chase, but don't think that is the same thing as HF - LF. By the way, I neither own nor hunt in a HF.

Plus down South I can see non- game reasons why you might want a very high fence, with razor wire.

I think I'm going to do a remake of the JG Wentworth commercials. Insert a High fence and put some low fencers on the other side screaming those are my deer and i want them now!

Never hunted HF (I'm too cheap), but my only complaints are the really small places (saw one close to Llano for sale advertised as a high-fence hunting ranch-110 acres), and I wonder how many animals were killed during the wildfires because they couldn't escape the fence? I know I've seen pics of dead animals piled up right next to the fence.

To those who like HF hunting,knock your self's out. It just doesn't seem sporting knowing the deer cant roam free(no matter how big the property is). Kinda takes the "Sport" out of "Sportsman".

If you've ever eaten beef, knock yourself out.

Not sure that applies here. Most people who eat beef don't claim to have "hunted" beef.

So is it wrong to say you've hunted something if you haven't in the eyes of others? Is that all there is to this? Y'all are so worked up over simple terminology?

i think that has a lot to do with it, some get angered by others pride if they think it wasnt earned. and i agree with you, it shouldnt anger "me" at all that "you" are proud of your kill, but it does. goes back to "me" being angry/emotional of the truck you drive or beer you drink, etc..
