I'm in no way worried about my soul after all God gave us dominion over all the animals not just the freerange ones. I would probably go as I mentioned earlier. I would consider it a grocery trip not a hunting trip. No different than buying a pack of ground beef, just a different means of putting meat on the table. My soul is in good hands, the best actually!

All expense paid? Definitely

Fenced? Depends on the acreage within the fence and the species.500 acres+ for non-game, like hogs (at least in Texas they're a non-game animal), small game and birds. I would not hunt big gameinside a fence.

Guaranteed kill? H, E, double hockeysticks NO.

Do you feel you will be hunting antelope or shooting antelope?
Any time an animal has a choice of where to go......I think you're hunting.

Deer make a choice to come under the oak flat I'm in. What's the difference?

For me it depends entirely on the critter. I'm assuming you are refering strictly to Whitetails, in which case I would not. It may sound strange, but I have a greater respect for a mature whitetail buck, than say an opposum or a feral hog. I have hunted hogs behind a 15,00 acre high fence and had zero problemsdoing it and would do it again. I would not huntwhitetails in this same 15,000 acres, something ethicially just doesnt seem right. But why is there a differing view between one critter to the next? I'm not the only one I have met who shares a different view on different critters.

So ask yourself, would you shoot a hog, or an opposum, or any other critter in a fenced hunt besides a whitetail? Does it depend on the critter, does it depend on the acreage fenced in and what that animal requires for a home range?

I honestly would not hunt Whitetails behind a high fence. The experience just wouldn't be the same hunting Whitetails behind a fence when it should be an animal that is hunted by the practice of fair chase.

I look at all my mounts and in my heart I rank them. Its funny that I rank them not based on the size of the rack but on the hunt experience! That said, I would go on that hunt. But I doubt I would rank the kill very high. And I most likely wouldn't mount it eithor. Unless that was all expense paid as well. lol

Nothing wrong with a trip to the grocery store.

Especially if it's free....sign me up.

I bet that if I were in a treestand on the hypothetical property and a big buck comes by, my adrenaline will be just as high as it would be in a fair chase scenario. When it comes down to it, at the shooting moment, that deer can bust me and escape just as easily as a fair chase deer. Sight, sound, smell, they still have it inside the fence.

So, for me it would be a free trip to the grocery store with a little fun and adrenaline to go along with it.
