I am from Texas and have quite a bit of knowledge as I have guided/hunted on high fence and free range hunts. I do hunt high fence what I have any opportunity to hunt, hunting is hunting to me. Being in the service, I don't get the chance to hunt very often. In my defense, I hunt pretty big ranches.
Also....I did a axis deer cull hunt on a 100 acre, which is considered a "pen" to me. I will tell you this....deer can dissappear. I never saw this buck I was after in four days. It was actually very fun and would do it again in a heart beat.
My mule deer hunt this year in the Spring Mountains was a different story. The deer and elk were kind of tame. Thats right....free range wild animals that let me walk to within 30 yards of them. I have hunted exotics that you couldn't stalk within a few hundred yards.
My point is this.....it matters not the circumstances. It is the hunter and game that makes a hunt fair chase(within ethics, of course).
I am quite dissappointed in the responces of some people since I thought we were all on the same side as hunters. With some of the attitudes around here, you would think I was talking to a peta member. It also seems like some just straight talk out of their ass and not with their intelligence.
