Do you consider hunting behind a high fence fair chase?
Filed under: Deer Management
Question
A lot of people say that high fence hunting is not fair game for the animals. So I wanted your take on high fence hunting.
Derek,
“High fence” is a very generic term. I’ve seen very small high fences where deer didn’t have much escape or native cover. I don’t consider hunting in such an enclosure fair chase. I’ve also seen high fences that surrounded several thousand acres. There’s often plenty of natural escape cover in these fences. I don’t have a problem with folks that hunt in these.
“High fence” is a tool like a gun. It can be used for good or bad and depends on the mission of the person using the tool.
Enjoy creation,
