I’ve hunted some big high fence places. Just as wild if not more so than low fence.
I’ve hunted low fence that deer were like pets.
I’ve hunted small high fence that you’d be lucky to kill something on. I killed an axis buck at KJO (original place) and that wasn’t easy. That was 15-16 years ago.
The size of the fence has little to do with it to a point.
I will admit that after killing a true free range 164” deer with my bow I appreciate it a lot more. But I am certainly not opposed to high fence and will continue hunting them. Mostly for exotics. To each their own. Hunters need to support each other.
And as far as the deer looking at you as you drive by. If they see the same thing all of the time they get used to it. We can drive the tractor or the Ranger by at deer 10ft away and they will just watch us. The second we start stopping they are gone. If we drive our trucks around they will bolt way before we get anywhere close to them.Last edited by bowaddict40; 10-17-2020, 06:30 PM.

Now, the front porch deer...that's another story! No shooting allowed off the porch or in view of the front porch, and those deer get accustomed to eating the hand corn without being disturbed. They still are jumpy, but they get comfortable with us sitting on the porch enjoying them.

Well....I got a little news for ya! There are some subjects that have absolutely been beaten to death on this site that we can't discuss without everybody pissing in each others cheerios. You just posted about the number one sword fighting thread on tbh... Good luck to ya! Let the nut-kicking commence!!

I think the OP mentioned exotics specifically.
Personally never seen a tame axis in any of the dozen or so places I hunted. Fallow much less spooky. Auodad always seem ready to sprint.
I've been on a couple places that were like grocery shopping with my bow. It was fun for what it was. Most have been hunts. But with high game populations.
A couple I just felt ripped off.
Go to London Oaks. You'll enjoy it and have to work for it.

Can confirm.
The possible scenarios are endless, making the possible opinions endless. And to many of the big opinions come from the inexperienced.
