While some "canned" hunts might be in a "pen" I have seen several high fence enclosures that were 3 to 6000 acres, with the animals in very natural and rugged habiat, the fact they are there is no guantee you can find them. The hoofed animals in an enclosure are typically "owned" by the operator, so he can choose his method of take, and within reason the rules and seasons. Typically the regualtions are developed by state agencies, but ultimatly you are shooting a criter that the operator owns, not a lot different than hunting a steer on a cattle ranch. So really we are not dealing with hunting regualtions as much as regualtions regarding the ownership of wild game.
