Video: Short Film Addresses the Conundrum of High-Fence Hunting

A documentary from Blood Origins takes a deep look into the ethics and conservation aspects of high-fence hunting in Texas.

A contentious topic in pretty much any room you walk into, high-fence hunting is the practice of containing wildlife in a designated area for the primary sake of hunting. In Texas, that often means exotic species.

Because Texas has a climate comparable to portions of Africa, it’s an ideal location for many African big-game species. The idea of hunting African animals in Texas draws ire from both sides of the aisle.

On the pro-hunting side, you’ll hear the argument that it isn’t fair chase and commercializes wildlife. On the anti-hunting side, you’ll hear all the same arguments that you hear against the broader aspects of hunting — and then some.

It’s a game of big money, big business, and something a bit lesser-known: big conservation.

Robbie Kröger of Blood Origins shares his perspective from inside one of those big Texas ranches.

Runtime: 12 minutes

Who cares?

You like hunting?

Go hunt.

Wherever it is legally available.

Others don’t like it?

No one is forcing them to participate!

The antis?

They go to hell!

Interesting video. have hunted both high fence and low fence/no fence in both texas and africa. each to his own on this topic.

What Saeed said +1.

Life is too short to associate with people wanting to bloviate on the various pros and cons of hunting. Which also means that I choose to not associate with anti-hunting types.
Today, a friend of mine is taking advantage of the convenience if a one day outing to take some African antelope for a BBQ. Another friend is the outfitter. Still a bit hot here in Texas, but it is their choice. I am waiting for cooler weather.

Interesting video.

All high fence hunting is not the same. Some are challenging , some are not.

It didn’t help the hunting side when they walked up to an ibex near the end.

Hard to argue about the addax and oryx.

Interesting and well done video. I have to agree about the ibex at end. Unneeded and does nothing to advance the position.
