You don't really see a whole lot of high fence unless you are in south Texas. Owners high fence to improve the deer herd. They fly it twice a year, game biologists decide the correct amount of bucks and does to shoot. They take X number 5/12 year old trophies, X numer cull bucks, and X number does. Managed lands have a longer season also. They bring in better quality bucks also. The better and bigger the deer, the more the lease is worth.
Some ranches run guided operations, guide sits in stand, gives you green light to shoot. If you want to kill a whopper, this is the surest way.
I have always been on low fence places. Started out in Ozona, 200 a year in the 70's. 1000.00 bucks a gun for 25 years in Coleman, I'm paying 2000.00 now in Burnet. It is just what it is. Little free hunting here. I guess you can't be a cheap and hunt here. Nice guys on all the leases for the most part.
