What Is a High Fence Hunting Preserve, Really?

A high fence hunting preserve is a large, professionally managed property enclosed with secure fencing to protect wildlife and habitat while offering fair-chase hunting. At Triple Hollow, that means mature, free-ranging deer in a controlled environment designed for ethical and successful hunts.

"High fence hunting" can stir up strong opinions—but much of the criticism comes from misunderstanding. The reality is that not all preserves are created equal, and not all fences mean "canned" hunts. At Triple Hollow, our high fence operation is built on ethics, conservation, and quality experiences for serious hunters.

The Basics: What Is a High Fence Hunting Preserve?

A high fence hunting preserve is a large, enclosed area—usually hundreds of acres or more—where wildlife like whitetail deer are allowed to grow, breed, and roam naturally. The fencing prevents outside pressures (like poaching, disease, or traffic) and keeps the genetics of the herd controlled and healthy.

At Triple Hollow, our preserve spans rugged Alabama terrain with timber, food plots, bedding cover, and travel corridors. Deer move freely, just like on open land—but with better protection and management.

Common Myths, Debunked

Myth #1: The Deer Are Trapped and Tame

False. Our deer are wild in behavior and hard-earned. The fencing doesn’t make them easier to hunt—it just ensures they stay safe from outside threats and receive optimal nutrition.

Myth #2: It’s Not Fair Chase

Fair chase is about behavior, not geography. At Triple Hollow, there’s no baiting to the stand, no pens, and no forced harvests. You still need skill, patience, and a good guide to fill your tag.

Myth #3: It’s Just About Big Antlers

While we’re proud of our trophy-class bucks, we also manage for healthy herds, sustainable populations, and a mix of trophy and management hunts so every hunter can find the right challenge.
