There is no middle ground... left or right NP...

Dang and I thought The Bunker was bad.

Let them shoot? Or move... really all you can do

Ranch has been in fam since 1850's. Don't wanna move! Lol yeah the only option would be to let them shoot it up and have a crappy deer herd for someone against HF.

I mean you can go the rich mans way out and fence it.. you probably also put that orange gun up to the tv screen to shoot ducks too..

More power to you man gota do what you gota do.. id rather shoot crappy deer but the whole point of this is that's just me... Glad your keeping aholt of the family land and not selling it off in lots like every other family ranch

Lol no you don't have to be against puppies and kittens lol. Then let me ask you Nogalus...what would you do about trigger happy neighbors? If reasoning with them will not work? And too many owners to make it work on neighboring ranches?

Antler greed would that be defined as the trigger happy neighbor or the guy that builds the great wall around them?

All my deer are free range and book eligible.....but that's just me. Now my exotics on the other hand.....well they are not!!!!!

+1. Amazing how the HF folks cannot see that they are neighbors too.

I think being HF guy and LF guy I think antler greed is in both obviously. We built fence over a decade time period to be able to manage our herd properly. On our LF property we do not need fence because low hunting pressure and smarter hunters. I love harvesting mature bucks.

Sometimes it simply is nothing more then its their property and they will make enhancements as they see fit.



One of my good friends owns a rather large property, he has four different small property owners that back up to him. There are 6 feeder with in 30 yards off his fence. He scared to hunt southern part of his ranch because of it. GW has advised all that the are basically shooting into his property, and he has legal recouse if they do. After three years he is tired of the safety issue.

The dozer starts rolling this month, with roughly 2 miles of HF right behind the dozer. And no he isn't HF ing his entire place. Just the back fence.

Some times we as hunters are our own worst enemies.

My stance on HF's are different than NP's, but it would be tough IMO to argue that fences do not restrict deer. A city is a little different than putting a fence around a section of land. I hunt on 6500 acres and see deer travel 3-4 miles on a regular basis. HF's do restrict deer movement. There are natural and man made barriers that restrict deer movement, but they are on a much larger scale and unavoidable in most cases.

Was going to post this back when this thread was one page. Still think it applies, so here goes:

People that high fence are one of two people, either they are trying to make money from hunting in one way or another, or they are wealthy and trying to maintain some sort of control over nature.
