So long as the resource is consumed and no laws are broken, I say to each his own. It doesn't appeal to me but so do many other things that some folks like to do.

I love me some high fence fishing,, high fence hunting isn't any different, of course depending on the size of the enclosed area.
Put a half dozen 16lb bass in a 300 gallon water trough makes catching one easy, in a 2 acre tank harder, in a 10,000 acre lake your chances are slim.

Lord help us - another HF/LF "debate" building.
The real issue to debate is why my 6.5 Creedmoor and .223 rounds penetrate paper so well but bounce off of deer.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

So a guy with less then 20 posts starts trolling us about high fences. Be very careful what you tell them.
This is a tactic anti-hunting groups use, to stir the pot and trigger hunters into posting and or saying nasty things, which they use to build their case.
Regards to high fence hunting, my question is this: is the fence there to contain wildlife or to protect it?
If it serves the purpose to contain the wildlife you can't honestly say it is hunting. If it is there to protect the herd and big enough they can range on it freely, that changes the conversation.

My question had to do with under certain circumstance would peoples opinions change about hunting a high fenced place. I like to learn and see things from other people’s experiences and view points.

If you shared a life raft with 6 other people, and one started drilling a hole in the bottom, would you "stick together"?
On a big high fence place where the animals can free range, they still can't "technically" escape.
Regardless of the challenge, whether it feels like hunting to us, the vast majority of non hunters can't get behind high fence operations because at the end of the day, it is still technically a "pen". As long as we condone that sort of thing, the anti's will use it against us.
Sometimes when you stick together you sink together.
I have no doubt there are excellent high fence places. High fences gained popularity because they can help protect a herd from predators as well as poachers and other hunters that take all they can and don't participate in conservation or management efforts.
But there are enough "pens" out there to ruin it. In MY OPINION, Yep just my own, if you truly care about the future of hunting, you can't support high fence operations.

Back to the future. What goes around comes around. So which I have never gotten an answer everyone agrees on. What height is a HF? Is it the same for all animals? If you have a zebra in a 4ft. fence is that considered a HF? If you have an animal in a HF and take it out and it is shot is that OK since it was raised HF? Me being 73 years old I am just trying to educate myself on HF-LF so I am able to carry on an informed conversation.

I’m amazed that someone with as little hunting experience as yourself has such a developed opinion on something you don’t know much about. Of course your welcome to your own opinion & all, but if I recall correctly, you don’t really know jack [censored] about hunting. It’s akin to 14 year old thinking he’s an expert on banging chicks. BTW, the whole life raft analogy is terrible & has no bearing on the subject at hand.

Many experts on here have killed very few deer.
