If someone shoots a fenced animal on that property, it does not affect my hunting experience, so why should I impose my hunting standards on that individual who is hunting/shooting/harvesting on private property where the ungulates are detached from the public's population of prey?

If people want to shoot an animal under those conditions, why should it bother me? These days I get most of my meat from a steer that was fed in a crowded, fece covered pen, run down a chute, and thumped on the head in an inglorious death. My personal take is that the degree of "wildness" in the hunt should be left up to the hunter/consumer, who can choose to hunt on private land with varying degrees of human intervention, or on public lands with a lesser and more uniform degree of human intervention.

Call me libertarian, but I guess I just don't understand why I should be disgusted by someone else's choice of how they spend their time and money so long as it does not affect me.
