Drove past the Legends Deer Ranch this morning. Kind of neat to see those big bucks but it sure would mean more to see wild deer like that. Kind of like comparing natural bodybuilders to the "roid" bodybuilders. The high fence deer just have unfair advantages.
They certainly do bro .....amazing what one costs as well
High fence, high price. With on-site taxidermy!
I agree. Drove through many ranches in South Texas while working drilling rigs who had fences like that. Sad to see. Wasn't raised that way in West Texas. Appears now a days set a trail camera focused on a feeder as bait - then Kaboom!Quote:

high fence stuff is all over the place , some of it is pretty typical type hunts on some ranches and some are just dude hunts , but in a day of smaller scale places and those that call wild deer management "I managed to get a deer" are pretty clueless about how to help the deer herd .Quote:

the county wildlife tax exception folks in my part of the world are amazed at the quality and quantity of the bucks that frequent our place .told me not to adjust ANYTHING I currently do on my place as he has seen every ranch in the county and said by far we growing some of the best wild deer in the county ....
of course as stated there are some that would call baiting deer unfair ,,,,BUT , some of them folks might even own a FFS and use minnows right after they leave that podium to go ketch some of easiest fish in the world to ketch , if ya git my drift ...:Rofl:banghead
