[QUOTE="slim09, post: 824296, member: 20253"] Personally i don't care about the records books, my record book is if I'm happy with what i took. It's more of the experience i have on each hunt that is the real trophy for me whether I'm high fence hunting or not. As far as comparing the trophies in record books everyone knows P&Y and B&C don't take game/high fence animals. SCI has different categories for high fence versus non which are estate records and non estate (Cant remember if that is exactly what they call it but you get my drift). So in the record books anyway they are not be compared.... There is no question that you cannot that comparing high fence versus low fence animals, since typically high fence will be much bigger if the land owner has a good supplement program and manage the herd correctly. As i have stated before i have a high fence on my ranch (2,000+ acres) but the whole reasoning behind it was to let our deer herd mature before being whacked. Prior to the high fence we had multiple deer that my family would pass on (150+ deer) due to the maturity of the deer, the next week you would hear people at the local Town and Country talking up the 150" 3 year old they killed. Since i don't nor does anyone in my family care about the record books, we decided it would be better to high fence our place and let the deer mature to a minimum of 5 years old before being taken (not counting culls).
