nothing wrong with it at all, i have spent many days fishing ponds throughout my 34 years in east texas, where everybody i know calls them ponds.
would i mount a 15lb bass i caught out of one? nope. would you? Have you ever caught one? I would put it on the wall! Now if you caught a 15 pounder every other cast, maybe not. What would your requirement be for putting on on he wall? I know people that have gone to Mexico and fished large lakes. They caught several bass between 10-15 lbs in 2-3 days. It would have to be made of antlers to put on the wall. Since fish are made of meat, I eat them. Ever heard of a replica? 
If you shoot a young deer because a neighbor will shoot it, you are that neighbor.

I've only put one fish on the wall... And it was back when you actually used the skin. I could care less about fishing in a lake or a tank. I'll do it once or twice a year. This was the last fish I caught  And it was behind a HF and in a tank. I should feel so bad since no one else had a chance to catch it.....not

I don't disagree. My only point was that you can't consider a HF ranch and a 2 acre pen as the same thing or the same type of hunting. Anyone who lives in a suburban area knows how quickly and easily deer can evaporate in the slightest of cover. I can't see why a HF of any reasonable size and cover would be any different. The reason it's different is because there is more to hunting than just finding them. With HF you know they are there-so the biggest unknown of true hunting is taken out of the equation. When I go hunting I don't know if the deer I might be wanting to shoot is on my place or not. HF shooters don't have that issue. But it affects the "finding them" aspect too.A corollary to the above is it's generally easier to find something when you know it's there. So the HF gives the advantage in every way possible. Of course, that's why they are built....

Of course, that's why they are built.... If that is the case, why isn't this buck dead on my 670 acres HF  What about this buck? No one ever saw this buck in person all season. Is he dead? Gone nocturnal ? Avoided feeders? Etc? Sure he might be there, but doesn't mean he will ever show up.  What people, like you, don't understand is that you aren't hunting any buck. You are looking for a buck that meets a certain requirement. I will agree that it is easier to kill a buck over the age of 5.5+ because they aren't shot at 2.5 or 3.5 Sounds like you have a lot of experience hunting behind a fence

So fill me in here... I don't have time to read 9 pages. Are we agreed that HF are a landowner right in the state of Texas and just mindlessly posting because we agree with each other?
