I’d have another b&c in the books if that were the case. The west side of my ranch doesn’t have a fence between my neighbor and I. From what I gather the deer we shoot are still considered high fence and not eligible to be entered in b&c.

The B&c defines fair chase as the ethical, sportsmanlike, and lawful pursuit and taking of any free ranging wild game animal in a manner that does not give the Hunter an improper or unfair advantage over the game animals. In 1983, the Club adopted a policy that made whitetail deer and other species taken in escape-proof enclosures ineligible for its record books. So I would say no to be able to enter in B&c.

Always figured they had a set up like that, otherwise they might be in some books

Without a doubt HighFenced. Opinions or lack of knowledge have nothing to do with it when it comes to record books or contests. Now if it’s just talk then that’s different. People make up their opinions of what a free range deer is nowadays. To me if a deer cannot escape a place no matter how big it is then it’s a High Fenced enclosure. Also if I understand it correctly when some sides are Highfenced but the others are low/no fenced sides but impassable terrain like swamps or cliffs will not loophole a Highfenced classification for Boone&Crocket.Last edited by KingsX; 11-28-2022, 10:51 PM.

It would be the same if you had three sections of land that borders were 1 mile each. This would meet the same rule but would still be a high finished ranch even though it had 1 mile of fence.
Total of 1920 acres
Broken up into three sections would give you 1 mile fence lines. So by the above description, you would have a low fence ranch even though the total pasture would be 1920 acres

Y’all can argue all you want but I just talked to Bailey at los Cazadores and she didn’t even have a good answer for that because I have thought about that before myself so this gave me a good reason to call. They are actually going to take a poll with everyone at los Cazadores and call me back.
