[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1536682, member: 85987"] You can't compare animals taken from a high fence to the wild. You can compare a big high fence operation to free range hunting in some ways but you cannot compare the 2 when it comes to the animals themselves. In one instance you animals that can be feed high doses of antler building minerals and digestible proteins year round. Add in predator control to remove the stress constant awareness of human scent associated with feed. Sounds also associated with feed. In the wild predators can move them out of the area weather same thing. Run you atv into a buck's bedroom on public land and it isn't close. The argument of comparing big game fishing to fenced hunting high low doesn't matter isn't realistic. The only comparison would be fishing around/in the farming pens being used today. No matter what that tide is going to change with some species they will move about a mile with pelagics if the food source is good/great they move 9 miles. If it is marginal and they straightline the next time they feed will be about 24 miles from where you just caught them. Using a guide for a fair chase hunt might be easy for the client to be successful but the work is being done. If public land is involved it's still a crap shoot. Private land with controlled access might seem easier however if the animals can leave. The guides don't babysit the client bad hunters can still screw it up.
