There's been tons of hunters that's hunted at FT Campbell, who hunted in a "high fence Area" without ever thinking about it, Clarksville Base, open only to bow hunting had 7 different fences around it. were the assembled the Nuke's during WW II. I know several who say they would never hunt one, but they hunted it, lot's of them deer were entered in P&Y, wondered if they really counted? bowriter, I sure you hunted at FT C, did you every hunt the Base? Something to think about.

good point. Most hnters say they won't but like you said they may have but will justify it some how.
I would bet at least half the guys that say they wouldn't if a hunting celebrity called them and asked them to come hunt with them for tv they would do it in a heart beat.

Very good point...Most Military Bases are high fence. I for one have to say that military bases are some of the best keep secrets. If a person has never hunted a high fence area how are they justified in knocking it? Hunting is still about choice...thank God...

Clarksville Base, know has holes cut in the fences to allow game to come and go from that area.
I think the area around Clinton Lake Power Plant in Illinois has a fence around it too.
The key that I see is when you say "high fence" people think of pay hunts and everyone kills a monster buck, but when you can go hunt these area's it gives you a different look at it.
P&Y and B&C use to allow high fence kills, but that has changed

Illegal might be taking things a little far, but encouraged no they should not be. I personally do not feel any deer taken within a fence has been "hunted". My own personal opinion is it is no different then shooting a cow or sheep. No matter if the property is 10,000 acres.
However, if folks get off on hunting inside pens, then by all means have at it. It is just not for me, and I personally do not have the same comparison for a high fenced animals and one taken in the wild.

I have hunted a high fence twice, One time was 600 acres in Ohio and it was an exotic hunt-spot and stalk. One of the most challenging hunts I have ever been on. The other was at the 42,000 acre, Y-O ranch in Texas. Most disgusting hunt I have ever been on. I could have used a ball peen hammer.
Both were bow hunts that I was assigned (ordered) to go on. One was a hunt, the other was a killing. But if you own the land, do what you want with it. You pull your wagon, I'll pull mine. But there is no way any animal killed behind a high fence should be in any record book.
Now define "High Fence". How many feet is a high fence?

Thats a good point on the definition of high fence and I agree that any animal killed behind a high fence should not be entered in any record book
