I truly understand where you are coming from. It is nice to reap the rewards of a hard fought battle to get a deer of your dreams. You feel a lot of pride in taking a deer that you worked so hard to get. The biggest problem is that most of the land here in Nebraska that have large deer on it, or for that matter any deer at all, people are not able to hunt. I suspect that this is a national problem and not just state-wide. I think that the fenced in hunts may be some hunters only chance to take a nice deer. Sometimes in situations like that, they may feel lucky just to be able to take a nice deer that they could put on their wall.

Taz. You are an Ambidextrous chicken choking master. I am not worthy, I bow to your mastery of this fine ancient art. I call you Master choker from now on.
Must I take the pebble out of your hand before I become a master too. ............................................. That is a pebble isn't it?

RE: Poll on hunting in high fences.
why is it that people always have to have trophies? i love the outdoors and just hunting .when you enclose an animal it alters his natural movements. even on these large high fenced places the guides know where the deer are.what happened to enjoing the hunt?free ranging is what makes it a hunt. fences do not.in many places ranchers have sold out their ethics for financial gain.

RE: Poll on hunting in high fences.
Me personally I would never hunt a high fenced ranch. For me half of the fun is the scouting and preseason work to get a crack at a big boy. I also do not believe this is fair chase.
But on the other hand, to each his own. If people want to shell out insane amounts of money to bag a buck they can hang on there wall that is fine by be. I don't believe however that these animals have any place in a record book! I don't care how big the ranch is.

dep,
I have never killed anything but trophy's. Every hunt that is successful for me, I bring home a trophy. Big doe, small doe, etc.
At the end of a successful hunt, you always have a trophy.
JMHO.
My first bow kill this year was a button buck that I took for a doe. To me, that was my trophy. I can't put his head on the wall, but I have pics and memories.
