high fenced farm shooting is for wannabe hunters. :>/ I see you live in Colorado...You could have drove to the NW part of the state and had a good chance at hunting fair chase and ended up with a nicer bull and had alot more fun.

You asked for their opinions, I read them all and don't see them judging you. They are giving their opinions, which you may not like but you asked for them. :)

Wow, guys, lots of responses to this one. I completely agree with everyone else. Hunting high fenced is not only a poor substitute for hunting, it's also bad for hunting's image to the nonhunters. If, suddenly, hunting is just fencing up an animal to kill it, I think the opposition to hunting will grow tremendously. Right now, most people are ok with the idea that people are going out and not everyone kills an animal, but enough are killed to manage the herds. When it gets to the point where people are just paying to kill an animal, not to enjoy the experience of the hunt and the time spent with family and friends, hunting will be going downhill fast.
One does not hunt in order to kill; one kills in order to have hunted.

You asked for it,if you dont wanna be judged for shooting a penned "elk" go over to Ted nugents forum,he ll call you his blood brother and tell you how much spirit wild you have for killing the mighty beast just like Fred Bear,never mind the fact that Fred Bear hunted free chase and never used a compound bow,or that the "mighty beast" was pen raised livestock that didnt have a chance in H ell of escaping the enclosure it was in,he wont judge you at all,unless of course you disagree with him on any subject that may come up.
