Is it "high fence"?
 If so, not too many folks here call that hunting.
There sure is alot of air around a squirrel...eeyup.

I call it hunting, maybe not "fair chase" but still fun and requiring the skills and enjoying some of the thrills of the case. Going to the grocery store and buying a pork chop - now that's not hunting!

If you go, post a report here. Maybe you will catch the hog hunting with bows bug and start spending time in Texas in the winter.

Minuteman, I've been there a lot. Unless you are in better shape than the average navy seal, you'd call it hunting. I've seen a lot a guys dragging at the end of hunting day there! 1100 acres full of hole and caves, hills and hollers.

High fence hunting?  A drag-arse cardio workout maybe, but hunting?   "[dntthnk]"      :(       :eek:

Come on Guys. He just asked for any feedback from folks that had been, not a lecture about what is considered hunting   :readit:    :saywhat:   I hunted there and enjoyed it and never even saw the fence while I was hunting. It is a BIG place.  I agree with Jim, it isnt a cakewalk, the terrain is impressive and challenging.

some of us our bound by $ and geographical location.and so are forced to hunt for some game on a fenced area (1100 acres)  are or not at all. there arnt too many boar within 400 miles of me and i dont have  an extra $1500 laying around to go to texas. wilderness lodge ($675)looks like pretty rugged hunting to me.but if i had a choice i would much rather go to texas for some real fair chase hunting.

Finding one in a 1100 acre fence is more fair chase to me than shooting one in texas over corn.Not downing what anyone does as long as its legal.I prefer to hunt them in 10000 acres of river swamp but I`m blessed to have that kinda public land close by.Which ever you choose pig hunting is addictive . Enjoy,RC.

You had to go through the fence to get inside.  :readit:    :saywhat:  
 There isn't anyone lecturing him, just our opinions. Fair chase is fair chase, chasin critters in a fenced hunting enclosure isn't fair chase.  :D
