[QUOTE="FlGunner, post: 2544928, member: 94240"] I know a local guy who has a few of these high fenced farms. It’s a lot of investment to raise deer. I was asked to help try and harvest some native does that was on one of his properties before he brought in deer for that farm….300+ acres . He said the native deer if left will infect the farm deer and kill ‘em faster than anything because farm deer don’t have very good immunity to natural ailments being they come from a lineage of pen raised stock. I have seen on one of his new pens where he separated 2 twin buck fawns and let one grow and live unattended and no supplements and the other he wormed and supplemented. At age 2 the wormed and supplemented buck was a 170 class and the other about 50-75” deer. I don’t understand the urge to hunt them but some enjoy it and guess that’s fine if that’s what they like. I have learned some from his operation on deer growth and nutrition but it’s awful expensive to supplement enough to grow deer in the wild when you don’t have agriculture that also aids in nurturing deer.
