Didn't have a clue it was a high fence. He left that part out of the story.

Well I guess now you know how your friend gets so lucky killing giant bucks. 
sorry but high fence hunting aint hunting its shooting if you got enough money to buy the animal. he should go to a pasture and shoot him a bull and take a pic with it

Totally agree. The guy is pushing 80 and he usually kills at least 1 good buck a year up in Hancock County.

To each their own, I guess. Don't think high fence deer are allowed in the books either.
When somebody says "high fence" deer, I wonder how much property it's on. If a deer lives on a tract of land of several hundred acres or more, it's a wild deer. I wouldn't call it a "canned hunt".
If it floats his boat more power too him. Not my cup of tea.

I been wanting to shoot a good hog to mount for a few years now and thought seriously about going to the Crossville area but can't bring myself to do that I know there up in the occee area just hard to get on think I'll just wait and go to bama sometime to a wma before I'll chase em into a fence
Agree. They are basically livestock in a cage- a 300" one would mean absolutely nothing to me

It would mean a lot to me. It would mean I was rich!!

I heard there is now a high fence operation at the old Ken-Tenn Clay Company land just off Hwy 45 a few miles south of Mayfield. I think they have exotics as well.

If you want to kill a big hog I got the place for you. Go down to Fort Benning, Ga. I go down once or twice a year with a couple guys and we usually kill about 10 to 15 a day.

Not putting down any harvested deer, but I've worked in high-fences, and the deer are VERY different. Worked in an 1,800 acre high-fence here in TN and I couldn't believe how little caution older bucks displayed. Drove up on my ATV to withing 30 yards of 3 1/2 year-old bucks feeding in a big food plot. I stopped and turned off the engine, and the bucks just looked at me and went back to feeding. I wouldn't call them "wild deer" by any means.
I live about 15 mins from this place. There's not much hunting to this one. Last I heard I think they had the animals limited to about 150 acres to roam. 2 years ago there was a guy who's in on a hunting lease that my buddy is over go over there and kill one just because he wasn't seeing much free range.
All depends on the terrain, set up of food, and use of cameras IMO. If you high fence 300 acres and put a 20 acre bean plot in the middle it's not too terribly different than using feeders. Add in 15 cell cameras monitoring every second of deer mvmt and it's like shooting fish in a barrel I would imagine.
