With an unlimited budget and unlimited time I'd do just about any hunt. I love the experience. If I kill something, great, if I don't that's fine also. Time and cost are the limiting factors for me.
Always been mystified by folks who say "I'd never do so and so" without at least trying it or doing *serious* homework on it. "I'd never do it because I'll never be able to afford it" is a completely different thing to me.
Personally, I'd never want to shoot anything in a pen or something placed there for me to shoot. Other than that, let's go hunt.
High fence? Always said no. But what about 18,000 acre high fence? Tried it and it's sure like wild to me. Fences do two things - keep stuff in and keep stuff out. Sometimes its the later that folks with fences are most worried about, especially the two legged critters.
Baiting? Grew up doing it in FL for deer and hog. Not any different than food plots *to me*. After the first shot those animals become nocturnal - at least the old/smart ones do.
I guess the older I get the more open-minded I become. And the less convinced that I become that I know all the answers. To each his own!

This is the type of outlook that would make all hunters stronger, but it seems jealousy and ignorance are more common these days than wisdom and humility. Or perhaps social media gives the former a microphone so it just seems that way....in any event, thank you for your post.
