No Yaz, I wouldn't be happy about any of the above scenarios. I agree that we need some laws to protect us from our neighbors doing us harm.
I'm just sick of government telling us what we Can and Can't do. A fella moving in next door and hurting your property value is sometimes just a fact of life. A landfill? That would suck. I just hate where this country is heading.

My neighbors german shepherd practically ate my wifes lap dog. After surgery and some painful medical bills, Our dog lived. Neighbor came over to apologize. I told him "It's OK. Doo Doo Happens. But if it happens again, I'll put a 1oz slug through your shepherd, gut it, hang it out back for your kids to see and then sell it to the chinese restaurant in town."
His dog has been to obedience training, a dog whisperer AND best I can tell is now an inside dog. No new law or government intervention needed.

It's funny because my neighbor is the one who convinced me that I'm really(like him) a libertarian. I think the only laws we should have are laws against people doing harm to one another. NO laws to aid businesses. No IRS. No Bailouts. Free country. Free to prosper. Free to fail.

As far as this canned hunting thing goes? I say we caused this ourselves with our obsession with antlers. I myself can shoulder some of the blame, although I've never leased or been obsessed with big bucks. Can we blame a guy for wanting to cash in? It may ruin hunting as we know it. But lots of thing threaten it every day.
Sounds to me like we are going to have to "Regulate" these idiots. I hate it. But it's where we're heading.

Seems to me that it is inevitable and the only real way to control it is to legislate to requirements to reduce the threat of CWD. I'm really on the fence with this one. The ethical hunter in me cringes at the thought of someone hunting in a high fence. On the other hand, do we really want a horn porn seeking jackarse in the woods taking potshots? We can't have it both ways. I do retain the right however, to buy land next to or near all of these facilities and put in my "coyote farms". Coyotes that may or may not ironically get out from time to time.

If the birds can not fly and run away from you or if you snag fish or shoot them then there is no difference.

If you do not see a problem with this then I would say you are not interested in hunting or being a sportsman but simply are a killer and enjoy killing animals. To hunt, one need to seek out and find. There is no hunting about this industry. No pride in accomplishment, little to no skill required. One pays for a trophy that he has not the skill to aquire.

We have no outdoor ethic anymore.

Well said Doug!

Didn't say I cared to participate in high fence deer hunting. Said I don't have a problem with it.

I've been on one of those put and take bird hunts and also fished a couple pay lakes over the years, mostly as a social thing out of curiosity.

Many of the pheasants and chukar we jumped and shot had to be kicked to fly, and at most of those pay ponds you can catch a fish with anything you dip in the water. These activities are terribly unsporting and I won't participate in them again either, yet they are still perfectly legal.

The notion that those fish or birds have some sort of sporting chance to get away is ridiculous, same deal with the high fenced deer.

I don't understand why the deer is put on a pedestal as if it is somehow more sacred than those other animals that get killed in an unsporting fashion daily?

Your last paragraph Steiny is the slippery slope. There is the absolute, which is the birds can escape if they have a mind to. But then there is the reality, as you suggest.

We had libertarian wildlife management and we killed everything till there was no more. Had we continued with Libertarian wildlife management you would have never enjoyed the sport and this board would not have existed.

Good Point DNA

High fence hunting is not hunting it is just killing. You as a hunter don't get to learn the natural movement of the prey. You might as well hunt cows out of a farm field.
