RE: I think I'm going to be sick....
I guess the laws are different wherever you go.
If I could decide how it would be, a guy would get a license, put up his fence, have his land inspected by some regulator, and certified to be clear of wild deer (or whatever else). Maybe they would have to pay for wild animals that could not be driven out.
Then they would import their animals, and run whatever operation they want.
We aren't going to solve this thing here. I have an issue with a guy erecting a fence around deer that are public property, making them unavailable to the general public to hunt.

In parts of this country, Texas especially, those animals have spent there entire lives on private property. Which means the "general public" has never had the right to hunt them. On large peices of private property, the deer will spend there entire lives on the same land that is owned by the same person/family. So what difference does it make if that landowner desides to erect an 8 foot fence around his property? The public has never and will never be able to hunt those deer, weather they are behind an 8 foot fence or no fence at all.
