[QUOTE="atkins0331, post: 1531716, member: 24056"] For someone who was born and raised hunting in Texas, I can tell you that high fencing has all but decimated the sport in my state. If you drive south texas and hill country roads, it's pretty much all you see. Heck, even much of the piney woods, (east texas) is becoming high fenced. Many land owners now install high fencing, attempt to manage deer with information gained on the internet and increase their lease prices up to 50%. Hunting has turned into an industry of which many people can't afford. Everyone in my large family had a lease when I was a kid. Now, none of them do. Luckily, we are fortunate enough that we could afford 5-8 thousand dollars a year for a lease, it's just that it's beyond the realm of ridiculous now. Every time someone pays $10,000 for a genetically modified pet deer, it encourages other landowners to fence off their land and attempt to make more money. A game warden I talked to a while back said Texas is probable at a point of no return. And for what it's worth, I did try high fence once. My dads old company offered us a trip for free so I said what the heck. The facility and food was outstanding. At night we would feed the deer while sitting on the porch. [/QUOTE]
