High fence is shooting, not hunting 40 acre high fence, sure, I can agree with that. But when that fence goes over 1000 acres, it's a different world. We have hunted a few in Texas over 3000 acres, and one over 8000 acres. Lots of the game concessions in Africa use perimeter high fence also.. Same in New Zealand.

High fence is shooting, not hunting The deer that nobody can kill would disagree with you. There are deer in 500-600 acre fences that are never seen by human eyes. Native southern deer don’t act any different inside a fence, as they would outside of it. There are deer in fences that cameras detect, but hunters never see, and deer hunters see that are not detected by cameras. It’s not shooting fish in a barrel.

I hunted a 100,000 acre high fence in South Texas (Piloncilla ranch).... never saw evidence of a fence in 4 days once i went thru main gate. There were other fences( inside a 6000 acre +/- pastures) around food plots, but deer jumped them easily-only there to keep hogs out.

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.

Pretty sure I'm talking about everything, native and non native. If my property takes resources that are vital to the public, the public needs to buy it maintain it and own it. If I dam a creek on my property that's vital to others, others need to buy it or move. My property is my property. What's on my property is mine. If it's not the owner needs to get it off. This is the problem everyone thinks the government shouldn't pass laws to restrict their freedom, but everyone loves a law that restricts someone else's freedom, as long as it benefits them! Again I say, if there is anything on my property that belongs to someone else's, they need to get it off! So if I buy land on both banks of the Alabama River I can dam the river up? Good to know. LOL! You have a very naive and flawed concept of land ownership. But by all means dam up a creek on your land and flood your neighbors property. Then when they take you to court be sure to tell the judge to f#*k off cause it's your property and you will do whatever you want. LOL ! Take some Preparation H to court with you and the phone number of someone that can post bail for you. LOL! .

I can't imagine what it would cost to fence in 500 acres, much less 5000.

But they not free ranging - they caged Deer on our farm don't range they do the same thing every year and stay in the same places. Could fence all 1200 acres and nothing would change. We have 0 new bucks move in ever and the ones we grow stay on us all year.

Was just on a 5700 acre high fence in Texas it’s pretty much just like regular hunting but has control. I don’t care either way but them deer was just as wild as free range on that size

I would love to see every inch of private land in Alabama high fenced. That way each land owner would be responsible for his herd. Shoot what you want.
But we couldn’t do that!!! You guys wouldn’t have anything to bitch about!
Hunting brings out the worst in people.

Wonder what the biggest high fence in Alabama is? Scott Drummond had around 7000 acres before he passed.

One of our favorite places to hunt is a high fence near Laredo. Right at 4000 acres, and the deer are very challenging. 1.5 miles on the East and West boundaries, over 4 miles on the North and South sides. There is a bunch of brush country in the middle with a pond/tank about 5 acres in the center of the ranch. Most of the deer in that area don't know that a fence exists.
Would the naysayers here hunt near the interstate? High fence for miles down some of it.
