Even in the USA most hunting is fenced or have boundries..There is USFS and open opertunity to hunt on ones own and in some cases large amounts of land and shoulder to shoulder hunting to ruin the experince adn there are ranches of private land that are as large as 100,000 acres or twice or three times that big, and you are alone and happy and just spent$5000 to as much as $50,000 or more for a deer or elk.

I would suggest that you decide what you can afford and the size of the land mass available, the opportunity is there.

Id be slow to criticize, it's just a liberal mind set, and yes all that glitters is not gold, check them out..be resonsible for yourself.

I wish it was a perfect world and all hunters had the opportunities that I have had, but it boils down to financial ability, like most everything else..Cut through the emotions and deal with facts.

But as Saeed indicated there is something special about hunting game in a wild environment where there are no boundaries.

Basically, one HUNTS animals in the wild.

And one SHOOTS animals on farms.

There is really no other way to describe it.

It has nothing to do with how dangerous or difficult it is.

Exactly.

I have had to trips to South Africa, and enjoyed both very much.[/QUOTE

We’re those high fenced hunted hunts? Where and how big were the areas?
