[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 2951829, member: 10"] There are bad ranches out there for sure and unfortunately when high fence ranches are spoken of, mainly the terrible ones get mentioned. I had a conversation with a group of hunters a couple years back and they were just ripping me for taking a specific buck at northern giants even though i always up front made it clear exactly the conditions this deer was harvested under. The fact that this deer was over 200” as a typical 5x5 not counting his two NT points on his right antler seemed to really bother this group of guys. In all honesty the report of the hunt was a report on the performance of my then new 27 stalker and the 129 gr barnes LRX being tested on this field test hunt [ATTACH type="full"]512615[/ATTACH] anyway, let these guys rant and rave about how i was not a hunter at all for quite some time and then i asked them about all their time hunting in south africa. Having read their posts about many hunts in the past i knew where they hunted and i asked them about hunting high fence ranches in these two countries. After they stumbled all over themselves to try to claim that the vast majority of south african hunting is not done behind high fence and come up with excusses on how its totally different….. they finally said high fences was a requirement in south africa to protect the game from poachers and predators…. i said you mean to say these ranch owners over their have the right to protect their property with high fences and charge hunters to come in and harvest this game for prophit but doing the exact same thing in north america is unethical……. Sounds a bit judgemental, uneducated and hypocritical on their part. Pretty much ended the conversation. Took no offense from your comments at all. Just want to make sure people out there understand, there are very different levels of hunts, high fence and low fence and the best of each are great and the worst of each are very bad….. [/QUOTE]
