Most times you can tell a buck is gonna be a trophy at 2.5 sometimes even 1.5. Place i guided we had a couple that wer 8 points at 1.5 an by3.5 they wer knockin on 180... high fence yes, 4k acres.. but that was it..low fence next door had same quality deer and density...apply that when considering hunts in south texas..most LF is just as good as HF if the right folks are managing it.


I agree on animal quality. I also think that some folks make too big a deal about high fence. I wouldn't hunt a 200 acre high fence, but once you pass about 2500 acres, I would say that most critters don't even know the fence is there.
