all through Alaska, Canada, Hawaii, Michigan, etc you can hunt on small islands. No fence but the animals aint going nowhere. Is this still free range, or is it technically a canned hunt?
While we are creating long reaching “What ifs”
What if it’s high fenced all the way around and the owner puts an escalator in for the illegals to get over his fence without damage and the deer take advantage of it? Free range or nah?

I guess I should have stated In TX
I was just trying to dumb down the conversation and it took some thought to find the difference between free range and low fence. ALL through the West the public land is covered in fences because most is leased BLM land for cattle so technically free range low fenced hunting takes place.
To me free range doesn't have any fences. It's more used for livestock verbiage than wildlife.
That's "open range", technically. "Free Range" in agriculture is a label term where animals (like chickens) aren't caged all day.
Its different with wildlife/deer. The consensus here is spot on, low fence and free range are synonymous.
As a side note, in Texas (at least) "high fence" can mean something different. Let's just say there's a difference between a huge "high fence" place (thousands of acres) and a 200-acre "high fenced pen". Fire away!
