I hunt in Southwest AZ for Mulies and I'll tell you what this is some of the hardest land I have ever had to hunt. If people can afford to pay for a hunt so be it but the animal no matter the size should not be allowed for any record due to it not being fair chase. If you want a challenge hunt in SW AZ in the KOFAs and you'll get a whole new outlook. I agree with most of the posts here.

If someone wants to sorta do that with any other kind of animal so be it. You can buy pheasants. Have the guy turn them loose just before you get there. (can you say dog training) Handicaped people get to hunt from closed roads. I'd rather see them huntin on a high fence ranch instead of going up in a van where I hunt. (no offense). I myself prefer the great outdoors. You fence hunters, enjoy and you fence owners, treat your animals right or I'll even vote against ya. I don't care if ya get 10 grand a bull.. hell for that, I'll take anyone of ya hunting and garentee ya a shot at a 6x6. (If you draw the proper tag) lol anyway, we have zoos, we have a ton of public lands to hunt on, I am ok with the high fence farms, so long as they take care of the animals. P.S. 370 acres is nothing. 1/2 mile x 1/2 mile. you can hunt it in an hour. You can go buy a full beef on hoof. kill and butcher it yourself.

Granted, some people will object, but who creally cares what others think as long as what you are doing is legal. I still don't know why the hostilities towards high fence hunting, if that is not your style, then move on to more important issues. But if folks choose to hunt in a safe, more controlled environment, more power to them. I don't gamble, but I certainly don't tell others that they can't. Same principle, don't try to legislate ethics or force your beliefs on others, let everyone do as they wish. Let's close this subject. Kyle,

I however will be hunting a much larger ranch as that is what appeals to me. Facts are that there is a ton of $$$ to be made for so called canned hunts. I know those who have a problem with that but I just dont care. I happen to like a very nice lifestyle and if giving someone what they pay for, as long as its legal. helps to supplement my lifestyle then so be it!

The first scandal was an Internet spoof over a supposed Selway-Bitterroot 575 archery bull; and the second was over 100 escaped elk from a high-fence ranch. The escaped elk caused a firestorm of criticism over high-fenced hunting ranches while people searched high and low on the Internet trying to find out if the 575 Selway-Bitterroot archery elk was legit. Droves of visitors swamped our King’s Blog for answers. After all was said and done, the 575 archery elk from Idaho was actually a 560 rifle elk from a high-fence ranch in Quebec, Canada.

But I have hunted fenced farms and It isn't quite as easy as everyone makes it out to be! I am very sure that that bull could and probably did go for two weeks with out being seen. 370 acres Is a large amount of land if it is all treed. So why don't all the rubberneckers that are mad or should I say jealous? Just leave well enough alone and let the man take the credit he deserves for shooting this massive bull!!!

I have invested wisely and have actually done well for myself. This however was not always the case! I was so poor hunting beaver was about all the hunting I could do. So yes I do spend a lot of my money on hunting and it does make it easier. The reason you have to wait 7 o 8 years to draw a tag is because the rules are set up that way. As far as the Boone and Crooket Club my membership is just as appreciated as everyone elses. Sorry if having money is a problem for you kade.

Talk to your state legislators and voice you opinions. Don't stop at just ranting online, put in some effort and call you representative or senator and get your friends to do the same. I too see no problem raising venison for meat, but people don't need to shoot them and call it hunting. Any record book that accepts these animals, even under "estate" calssifications should be ashamed of themselves!
