High fence hunting

[swampbadger]

High fences, expensive trophy safari hunts where none of the meat comes home and corn feeders currently aren't my style.

I'm not perfect and don't claim to be. Who knows maybe my style will change when I get older.

Overall, We kill animals, enjoy a bit of sport about it and eat them, or feed an african village with the meat.

It's far more important IMO for us to stick together to protect the freedom to hunt.

I'm not sure its productive for "the cause" for hunters to ally with killers of domesticated animals.

I'm not sure either, hopefully it never comes down to our way of life being taken from us.

If it does and we all end up with our backs against the proverbial high fence wall, we might need as many allies as we can get.

not sure if you lived in Tn several years ago during voting time. But we made it a Tn constitutional amendment to hunt and fish as a right. So that would have to be taken from us under a vote since it was a constitutional amendment to our state that passed. Not saying it can't be done but we made a lot harder to undue

Question came up the other day. Do you think they have air tags or some other type of tracking on their deer? I'm sure it would be illegal but as much as they charge you'd think they would. Get ready he's about to walk out in 3,2,1 lol

Air tags or something similar wouldn't surprise me. That's their livestock, and they have to protect their investment somehow, even if it is a high fenced area. Probably use drones to keep tabs on em too. Just a guess there.

Like someone else said, they'd probably let a person shoot 'em in the feeding pen after they write the check.

The fence or the hunt lol

Fence cost for 20k acres. In the hundreds of thousands I would guess

In labor…. Then add the fencing itself!

I have no idea if they do and it wouldn't surprise me at all if it happens.


For those that are are for or against high fence hunting, does your opinion of the area fenced changes. So a 20 acre pen vs 20,000 acres.

The huge ranches down in Texas will sometimes be several thousand acres. Some of them are high fenced. Maybe not the whole ranch but, a good size piece of land. I've heard it's still tough to hunt the deer on properties like that.

Try 50K per mile. But there are always variables that could up or lower the cost.

So about 1,200,000 in fencing, if square.

I'm against high fence hunting in any form but the ranches in TX are much larger than several thousand acres. Small ranches there are 10k plus. The largest ranches are in the hundreds of thousands of acres (king ranch was 825k last time I looked).
