Mark is toying with the idea of raising deer. Apparently there are people out here who do, and I know that you need very high fences; at least 8-9 foot. Anyone perchance know of any deer ranchers, or have you ever done this?
Hunting has gotten so lousy even out here.. overhunted land by neighbors.. we do not have a gram of new venison from this year.
Let me know when you want to come and visit.I can show you several HUNDRED deer in the State park i hunted the Thursday after Thanksgiving.Its possible to see 50+ deer in one feild. It was a special Shotgun(slug) disabled hunt that i particapated in.The rest of the park was open to the other hunters.They have extended our deer season to Jan 31st(normaly ends Dec 31st).We have a Buffalo farm that has 10ft+ fences and for 2k you can hunt one.I do not veiw this as a fair hunt though.
