No, I don't hunt food plots and I don't hunt hay fields. And neither did you in this case. Your elk was inside of a fenced enclosure. You hunted an elk that had no opportunity to escape you in a 100acre enclosure (pen). That's not what most of us consider hunting so don't try to defend it as such.

What you did was legal and I am not putting you down for it. If you want to shoot animals in fenced enclosures, go for it. It's your money and it's your "sport." You can even call it hunting if it makes you feel better about it.

The only people that will side with you on this matter are those that hunt enclosures. I don't think you'll find much support on this site. From the sound of your very first post on the subject you're not finding a lot of support anywhere in the hunting community.

You can't compare the agricultural fields or food plots to fenced hunts. It's not even close to being the same. But like you said, you can't "hunt" anywhere you want.

Muley Crazy 1, just a like a couple others pointed out...you ASKED for our opinions. If you don't want to hear the answer, don't ask the question.
I agree 100% with NONYA and Mark...and most everyone else on the subject.

Coloradobuck, no one is carrying out a personal attack...we answered the question that Muley Cazy 1 asked us honestly and directly, nothing more.

the one thing i do strongly think should be stated is although like i said before i'm not at all for it but we do need to remember the bigger fight is for the anti's. even though it's not what we consider hunting, there is enough people who do call it hunting that we need to keep them on the pro - hunting side. we should save are battles for bigger things.

BUT I STILL WOULD NOT CALL IT HUNTING.

Canned hunting is the antis hole card,they use footage of poorly done pen hunts to bring people who have no opinion about hunting to their side.Its not hunting at all,its killing stock with a hunting weapon,its in poor taste and it endagers all of our hunting futures.You cant be pasive to it when it is being used by the antis to take away your rights,it also endagers all the wild game in your state,the ONLY cases of CWD found in Montana were in PENNED elk herds,you hear storys of these animnals escaping all the time,do you wan to loose your wild elk herds because jo blow let a few elk out of his pens?The if its legal its ok attitude will not protect your free ranging herds from these operations,think about it.
