I will say one thing about high fenced ranches. Many owners of high fenced ranches spend a lot of money to improve the habitat for deer and other game (not just a bunch of corn feeders spread around the ranch). The state will even subsidize some of th efforts if the owner adheres to certain practices. I have also seen many land owners who have spent the time and money to improve their land get 'robbed' by asshat neighbors who put up a blind right on the fence line. It would be difficult to prove, but don't tell me that someone willing to put a blind on a fence line would hesitate to shoot a buck on the other side.

However, does a high fence equate to 'ownership' of wildlife? Is it another theory of capture?

Personally, I am a bird hunter. Bird hunting is my passion. I will deer hunt, but it is more about getting out of town. I haven't shot a buck in 10 years. I have shot does for management/freezer purposes. Most of the time, I will go out and rattle or stalk, only to let the bucks come in to watch.
