Youre not as good of a hunter as you think you are?

^^^^^^^^This

Get out of the blind and find him

If the argument is a hf makes hunting easier than stop using rifles with scopes

It seems like most people against hf are those who can't afford them. I've never been on a lease with a hf so my opinion isn't biased....I have no problem with people who chose to put them up. Why should I?

My family owns around 2500 acres hf . When we bought the place it was low fenced. We have been high fenced around 9 years now. The deer are just as hard to hunt as they were when the ranch was LF . We see deer that don't show back up for years sometimes. My point really is it doesn't make the actual hunt any easier they are just bigger when you find them.

we are still talking about this???

Ha I had to chime in it was my first comment on the whole debate

Yep. He showed up late in the season and took a bullet. The ways these guys talk, you should be able to kill a particular buck on any given day hunting HF.



For the question about hunting low fenced, yes I do. We have a small amount of property outside the fence.

What is funny about the elusive big 8, we were trying to kill him last year as well to no avail.

Can someone show me where he is?

He's bedded on that larger point in the lower left corner, just north of that tank. Assuming the wind is out of the South, of course.

100yds off that clearing with the feeder from the pic.

That's a pretty good area, but too thick to hunt. Never seen on trail camera on that portion of the ranch

He does not live there...he beds off to the north but jumps in and out when he wants

Nope, hogs hold the fence up for him to crawl through

Tye has both those problems it seems.

Yes we do. The hogs started showing back up on cameras 3 weeks ago. Probably getting a group together for this weekend coming up. I have friends with some Awesome Toys to shoot them with. These were taken the weekend before New Years

i just asked because i noticed your sig...just seemed, kind of, well...

Why do you think we built a fence we had "that neighbor" We tried letting deer get some age for 5 years with no luck

I think it's pretty sweet how everyone on this forum gets along.

Welcome to the real world

just in for the post count and figured I'd add one more worthless post to the topic.

...at least someone knows what they're doing!


(Might as well get another one in too! Looks like it's slowing down)

Oh Yeah! Not that it's worth anything but for the record - I hunt LF!

But you fish according to sig pic. How dare you do that knowing they can't escape. By having a boundary, you must must where the big ones are once you get to the pond,tank, lake etc.

..and

You heard of "catch & release"! Some do it but I'm a "batter & fry" guy!

I hunt LF all my life my dad and I bought a managed hunt in a HF I sat in stand 2 straight days (packed a lunch) and didnt see anything had to go two different weekends until I got a buck. my dad has yet to get his so we will make it 3 times and this is only on 550 acres. I thought the same thing and called it a (canned) hunt and after hunting this place It is just as hard to get them as on a low fence only the deer are bigger. The deer dont want to die any more on a HF then they do on a LF. When I shot it it didnt have bells around its neck and wasent let loos from a tree. I would recomend anyone to go on a HF hunt at least once in there life. And again I am a LF hunter
