One cost money one don't. One is legal one ain't. Only differences I can think of.

High fences are awesome mines 50 acres with a 49 acre green field that has a 1000 pound pile of corn in the middle, and I have staidium lights all aroud it so I can see em at night.
The world needs more people holding deer in pictures,and less people holding cameras in front of mirrors.

75% of the bucks on my property never leave 200 acres. Summer, fall, winter, Rut or not.
So even if they were in 1000 acres fence they'd never know it.

I have a close friend that had a high fence hunting operation in Franklin County. He had "X" number of deer on the property and knew each one by a specific name. When a hunter showed up to harvest one of the deer, he was paired with a guide to make sure he shot the deer he was after. If they wanted to shoot another deer that was bigger-once they saw it hunting-the guide would be able to tell the shooter just what it would cost before pulling the trigger.
The surprising part of this high fence operation was their success rate which was just over 60%. Just because they were fenced in did not mean it was like shooting fish in a barrel. The biggest deer were almost never seen by hunters as they had learned how to avoid the fields, etc where hunters were set up. There were many hunters that had a great time hunting there, and went home without a deer. They were a lot harder to kill than anyone can imagine. The younger deer that were less than 2 years old would dare you to shoot them though because they knew they were safe.
I would have loved to have killed a couple of those deer, but my pockets were not deep enough to allow it. There were some absolute Giants in there that were never killed. I have no trouble with anyone hunting a high fence operation if they can afford it. I just don't have much interest in doing it myself.
I can't stand a thief.
