It's a question that surely stirs the emotion of just about every hunter. Whether you're a "fair chase" aficionado or "if it's brown it's down" zealot — or somewhere in between — the issue over high-fence hunting can split a hunting camp into us versus them.
Recent controversy over movie star Matthew McConaughey's Texas ranch and a new law making its way through the Indiana House have brought this issue back to the forefront of the hunting community.

Where do you come down on the ethics of high-fence hunting?
