High Fence Fraud

I've done a lot of outdoor TV shows some of which have put me in high fence operations for deer and elk. Over the years, a lot of these operations have wealthy clients who fly in aboard their corporate jets, stay and eat in the lap of luxury then have a guide get them within 75 yards of the trophy they want to hang in their personal lodge or boardroom. People reading about that kind of stuff or seeing it, may set themselves up with the wrong expectation of what you can get in fair chase hunting. I talked with editor-in-chief of Outdoor Life magazine.

CULTURE SHOCK 

If you listen to the real experts and leaders in the whitetail world, they’re talking not just about how to kill a Booner in a plot of brassicas, they’re talking about having more fun during deer season, the importance of getting new folks into hunting, and promoting wild, free-range whitetail deer as a public resource. Deer hunting in America is awesome. Outdoor Life examines some of the harsh lessons we need to talk about if we’re going to keep it that way.
