I got no problems with it! Kinda like combat, whatever it takes to git her done, without getting yourself hurt/killed.

I sat In my buddy's cabin for most of the day on Sunday. Sat in nice chair with the door open. Never saw a deer but I was comfortable. And even nodded off a Time or 2.

I aways wondered why I seemed to eat faster than most people then I realized it's the result of growing up in a family of Nine!

The only ethical way to kill a deer is if you run the deer down,and kill it with a spear,Like Savell does!

It's hunting season.

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

How many acres is the high fence area? I know a guy that hunted high fence in Africa. He drove for an hour and didn't see it. The area was that big. It protected the animals from some disease from outside the area.

I'd say that is the exception to a high fence area (that large), but still the game there is not free range.

What is the difference? This is not an ethics issue. It is a skill or bragging rights issue.

I have taken many young kids and even cityiots in small fenced hunts for pigs. My daughters learned to put a clean kill shot on a animal twice their size. Some of the city folk where bordering the anti side just because of the culture of their neighborhood. I can name a dozen or so that now have "northern hunt camps" that they take extended family to. They learned, in very simple and controlled environment, where meat comes from and felt empowered in the fact that they were the person that brought home the bacon. Beats the heck out of walking through a grocery store meat section. Ever visited a mass producing meat farm? That is were the anti's get most of there bullets.

Can't believe we are debating ethics on a legal shot animal no matter where it is taken.

Yikes!
