BAH! Why don't some of you northern, more-American boys come down to south Texas and I will put you in a pen with some of my tame, not-real cows and see how you fare.. don't worry, they have tags in their ears! Everything wild (and most of the domestic stuff) in south Texas will poke, scratch, claw or bite you.. and that's the less aggressive 50%.. the other 50% does that first then eats you! And it doesn't care what side of a fence it is on or how tall that fence is. Anybody see the series of pics of the bucks locked up in the stream where the two TEXAS hunters attempted to unlock them without killing either? I know it's hard to believe someone from TEXAS could do something ethical! They even resorted to trying a chainsaw.. Apparently one of the guys ended up with a broken wrist and got gored. If only they had read this blog first.. they would have known they could have just snuck up and slapped a tag in the deer's ear and PRESTO!.. a tame deer! A friend of mine married into a very wealthy family years ago. His father-in-law bought a 7,000 acre ranch in the south Texas Golden Triangle and high-fenced it.. what an un-ethical, un-American thing to do (according to some). Can u believe the sorry old SOB even put out protein and minerals? Well his justification was that he was going to make sure his grand-kids and their kids always had a place to go that wasn't corrupted by politics and whacko ideologies and the encroachment of civilization. No hunting was allowed within a quarter mile of any provided food sources. He wanted to make sure the animals stayed wild and didn't associate the food with humans. 7000 acres-almost 11 square miles! There is wildlife in that "pen" that have never seen the perimeter fence.. probably some that never even saw some of the low cross-fences or humans for that matter. Ethics and morality, just like opinions, are extremely personal and different for everyone and can't and won't ever be legislated. At least you better hope not because then all of our freedoms are gone. Those things can however be taught and passed on from one generation to the next. My 11 year old daughter killed her first deer last month.. a 7.5 yr old doe. Unfortunately by some people's standards, she is EVIL! She was GUIDED (by me) and we spread a coffee can of CORN in an open field. Never mind that we got to spend hours in the BLIND (ooh, another sin!) together passing the hunting heritage and all that goes with it from one generation to the next as it was with me and my father. I have hunted wild game all over in all kinds of conditions and environments with different weapons.. I figure the hunting here in Texas isn't much different than bugling up bulls in CO, bear hunting in AK over bait, sitting a food plot in TN or MO, duping a WY antelope with a decoy or ambush at a water hole or decoying ducks in AR flooded timber. It's all about the thrill of being able to outwit our prey via attraction and distraction! Don't talk to me or any of the other fine gentleman on this board about ETHICS or SPORTSMANSHIP. Not a single gentleman from Texas responded with any type of negative personal comment toward any of you or pounded his own chest, yet several of you continue to berate and insult us. You do it like you want and we'll do it the way we want. The way I see it, I am a contributor. 7 years from now, I know of at least one more new voter who will be voting for a candidate that will be working to ensure that you still have the right to run your fool mouth and hunt as you please! What have you done besides hee-haw like a bunch of asses? If you have an opinion, by all means, express it; but keep your nasty, obtuse comments to yourself before somebody knocks that superiority complex out of you. By the way, a wise old woman once told me that if you chunk a rock in a pack of mongrels, the one that yelps is the one you hit... and I just chunked a rock! Viva la Tejas!

I got tired of neighboring properties harvesting deer I worked my ass off to grow and let mature. I have no regrets and none will be forced up on me.

It's amazing how someone can talk crap about the way you hunt when they weren't raise doing it or have never done it in thier life. I hunt in Texas and have never been in a high fence, so tell me I can't hunt and I'll show you pics different. As far as heart-attack goes he was older than 6 because if any of you have ever watched the realtree monster buck videos, he's on one if them. Probably 8 years ago and he was huge then.

Just because the deer are on your property does not mean you own those deer. I think high fences should be outlawed. Just because the deer are on your property does not mean you own those deer.
