Selfishness is the root sin of all sin. At least I couldn’t think of any that weren’t rooted in selfishness.

I would want to know i could kill him free range - not some sissy fag way!!!

Damn T dawg !!! Did you just call all high fence people a bunch of low down sissy faggets ???

To each his own. Fence if you like dont if you don't who cares.

Taking down my fence this morning. Thanks TDog 🙄

Lol. I love this bar.

3% is that you?

Good fences “do” make good neighbors though…

How Much would it even cost to fence on something like 700-800 acres? I’d love to have mine fenced in and grow deer to their true potential, but up in these mountains, running a fence and maintaining it through the year would have to be a nightmare.

I just ran 30’ of fence with a gate for my yard and had dang near $800 in it, I can’t imagine what fencing in 800+ acres would cost.

Most high fences I’ve seen have at least a 20-30ft wide road beside them. Some are 50ft+ to reduce the amount of stuff that can fall on them. I would think clearing a path that wide around a place would probably cost as much or more than the fence itself.

A high fence is one of those things in life that if you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it. 😁
When you add up the cost of clearing the lane, installing the fence, maintenance and constant monitoring it would be astronomical.

Oh, make no mistake about it. I have no actual interest in doing that, Nor would I want to spend the money on doing it.lol

$40-$60k per mile of fence. Depends on how much clearing/ROW you want.

This time last year we fenced about a mile and it was $44,000 with predator wire at the bottom. In the process now of putting up several miles but we are doing it ourselves. Cost will be a little more than half of that per mile.

Nobody wants to talk about the fact that a high fence would help keep out coyotes and hogs.

Both are a tremendous drain on the fawn and turkey populations.

If I win the Mega Millions on Tuesday night, I will try to assemble 5-10,000 acres in Alabama and throw a high fence around it. Matt Brock would be my first hire to manage the place, and I would hire as many equipment operators and construction folks off here as wanted to go to assist with road maintenance, food plots, and structure work.

Would report back here in 6 years advising what we were able to accomplish with native genetics, low predation, great age class management, and ideal minerals/forage.

It’s incredible what can be accomplished in AL with native genetics when all other environmental needs are met and social stress kept to a minimum. Absolutely incredible. I don’t encourage introduction of outside genetics, because it’s not needed most of the time. And it leads to all kinds of herd health issues to have multiple breeding seasons in an enclosure.

High fence is shooting, not hunting

Nah. A large enough fence is no different than hunting any other way, in fact I have been in a few fences where it was actually harder to see a deer than it is on several free range places I hunt
