[QUOTE="Headhunter, post: 5532768, member: 652"] Depends. There are fences, I have only killed does inside of a high fenced area, but I can promise you it is fair chase, well the unfair part is the deer can be beyond belief hard to hunt. Of course this fence is large enough in area that the deer probably pay any attention to it. 3000 acres or so inside of one fence and the land is up and down and "jungle" would be a good term to describe the type of cover on the property. The fence is more to keep trespassers out than it is to keep animals in. Unbelievable what people will do, theft, vandalism, etc. The fence I killed does in, the guy used to run a crazy photo census, he had a few hundred cameras out, thousands of pictures. There were way more than you count great bucks on camera that not only were never killed but never seen by anyone, whether hunting or just riding around. Only unfair part to the deer is when he kills enough does, the rut can be beyond intense, unbelievable rut, I have never hunted for a buck inside the fence, his customers and close personal family get to hunt the bucks. But before and after the rut, even just seeing a deer can be difficult. I remember one year, they videoed a giant, clean 9 pointer, deer was over 170", they watched him for chase does for over an hour. Back then he sold hunts. The hunter hunted all over the US and has for sure killed some large deer, and it was the first day. The guy passed the buck up. They thought for sure they would see the deer again. With all the cameras out, there were no pics of that buck. That was the only time that deer was ever seen and never got a pic of it. [/QUOTE]
