[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 163928, member: 10"] Boss Hoss, Points taken. A couple questions, had your Aoudad been inside a 50,000 acre encloser, would he have been any easier to kill or would he have been prevented from escaping you as a hunter if you did not do your part? When we hunted in Texas, the ranch owner had s couple biologists on his ranch checking out some of the game he had and we talked with them for quite a while and they both said that Texas was well over 70% high fenced area from the last state study they have been a part with. Now they did not say if that was total land area in Texas, or just agricultural type lands or what but either way, that seems like alot to me being from a state that you hardly ever see it unless your looking at a buffalo ranch. Point being, its common place in Texas for land owners to put up a high fence. Only difference in Texas is that they can fence in all the wild game on the property which I believe is pretty unique compared to any other states laws. How is it ethical to fence in native game but be opposed to fencing in exotic game? I talked with one old boy that was in my shop a couple months ago and he noticed some of the exotic heads I have in the shop and asked where I got them. He pretty much chewed me up one end and down the other saying how I was promoting canned hunting. Funny thing is I had talked to this guy many times about whitetail hunting and he commented he had always wanted to get to Texas to hunt whitetails on one of the famous ranches down there. My reply to him was would you like to hunt whitetails on the YO ranch and his reply was that he would love to. I then asked if he would like to hunt Fallow deer on the YO and his reply was he never would because that is simply a canned hunt. When I informed him that he would be sitting on the same stands weither hunting whitetails or Fallow he just set there looking at me. Point being, a HUGE amount of whitetail hunting in Texas which is considered fair chase and no one would really ever question that is done behind game fances because its legal to fence in native game in Texas. BUT say your hunting exotics on the same ranch and many will give you heck for it. Why is that???? Alot of B&C and P&Y whitetail are entered into the record books every year from Texas ranches that have high fence around their boarders. Is this really fair chase as defined by B&C and P&Y???? I think not in the literal terms, still noone has a problem with that. I have a bigger problem with fencing in native game then shooting transplanted game behind high fences..... Just my opinion, Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
