[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 163844, member: 8"] I really see no difference in a high fence hunt and the people who use timed feeders for deer or hogs in their back forty. On a large ranch the animals are not really confined to the point you can just walk out and shoot one. And some of them are unbelievably spooky from being shot at frequently. The animals learn when the timer goes off and all the squirrels and grain eating critters come and wait for the dinner bell. If you are short on time or money and cannot afford to spend months scouting elk or thousands of dollars flying to Africa or wherever then the high fence hunts are your best option. My son can’t take off from school and spend months bumming around with me hunting so the high fence hunt was a good opportunity for him to kill a unique animal and he was very happy with it. I had never killed a hog and so the high fence hunt was a good thing for me and him [IMG]http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n168/bufflerbob/auodad2.jpg[/IMG] On the other hand, I spent a lot of time money and effort to kill a six by six that scored only 297 points. But the time sweat and effort I put into it and difficulty of hunting on public land made that elk the trophy of a life time for me. I am not the least bit envious of anyone’s elk rack because I know that even if I should kill one bigger than the one I have it will not mean as much to me. A trophy to me is the memories of the hunt itself. As far as shooting buffalo, I would just say that a wild buffalo is not a spooky critter.
