Anything fenced in is a pet or livestock.......NOT GAME.....and therefore not hunting. So Blackbuck on a low fence (since they don't jump a low fence) isn't hunting. Neither is pronghorn for that matter. Stating something in a logic style doesn't make it logical. Pronghorn was the easiest hunt I've ever been on. 15,000 acre ranch and our group of 8 was done by noon on the first day. It was borderline not hunting and it was diy, over the counter on private land. I know different areas are more challenging. If you're antelope hunting in NE Wyoming, plan something else to do when you finish early.

Some places are zoo's some are not, they are not all created equal. Not that I look down on HF deer because I don't, but I surely do keep HF and LF deer in two separate catagories. It has been time consuming and difficult for us to reach 150 b&c on our 320 acre LF property. With a fence around it I have no doubt what so ever we would have surpassed it several times. Agreed... I'm not a big fan of HF, that being said I definitely understand why some LOs high fence their land and frankly if I had 500 acres or more and those around me believed in "if it's brown it's down" or if they were simply bringing in so many hunters/taking more deer than their land can support I'd HF my place too.

Mods need to shut this down. Question was asked and answered, no need to keep the HF vs LF debate going any longer than the original question asked it to be...

I don't really know much on the subject, but I have seen deer killed on both LF and HF properties, and it seems to me that the HF hunters are clearly superior to the LF hunters in skill, as they tend to bring in the biggest bucks which are usually more difficult to kill, right?

Correct. Kind of like the guys that drive 8+ hours to hunt on lf ranches in the golden triangle have more skill than the guys that hunt in the hill country. I've seen bucks from both areas and the guys that hunt the south must have more skill because their bucks are huge compared to the ones I take and I'm on high fence.

Just remember, "no prize is greater than the effort taken to achieve it."
"I had a bird dog names Gus. When Gus couldn't find pheasant, he worked up an enthusiasm for rails and meadowlarks. This whipped up zeal for unsatisfactory substitutes masked his failure to find the real thing. It assuaged his inner frustration. We conservationists are like that . . . to assuage our inner frustration we have found us a meadowlark . . . it smells like success. There is danger in the assuagement of honest frustration; it helps us forget we have not yet found a pheasant." - Aldo Leopold
Is the "pheasant" or deer taken behind the HF success or an unsatisfactory substitute masked for failure to find the real thing?
I think that is the question that you are asking....can this hunt be a "success" or will this just result in a participation trophy? Anyone can get a participation trophy, just look around. Are you hunting to impress others by getting her "first mounted deer" or satisfy your inner desire to succeed/achieve and feel good about your experience?

LF deer are better chicken fried. HF deer are better on the grill, bacon wrapped.

To me, these small HF places know what they have as far as animals, and that leaves no surprises, and that is why I don't hunt in them. If somebody had 30,000 acres under one fence, that changes things a lot.

Low fence hunting makes you a true hunter. Make sure and feed lots of corn, and bring a mr heater in the blind with you to keep you warm while checking Facebook on your iPhone. Also helps to have two yetis in your truck. People who do these things, they're the real hunters. High fence hunting is for rich people who want to shoot their pets. Also, harambe was innocent and Cecil the lion was a hero. I hope I equally offended everyone here.

How else would they know what hunting is without a TV and iPhone. For that matter, they would have never been able to book the hunt without putting down a deposit through paypal. Good thing they have the Yeti sticker on their vehicle....you aren't legit unless you have your cooler's logo on your vehicle. HA, I used to think that it meant someone worked for Yeti, for instance a salesman or something. Boy was I wrong. People actually think this is cool to do. Kuddos for Yeti's marketing team. They know how to herd the sheep.
