There is currently several lobbies, landowners, and politicans who are trying to make deer in Texas PRIVATE property. Whos ever land the deer is/was standing on at the time in question, is who would own that deer. Private property rights, hunting, and deer are big bussiness in Texas. Most people in Tx agree that within 10 years the deer will be private property. Most people arent going to notice a difference, considering thats how it pretty much already is. But hey if somebody still wants to shoot "state owned" deer they could go to Iowa or Michigan or anyother state and try to fight for a spot to hunt.
The law they are trying to pass here in Texas has "NOTHING" to do with High fence ranches and the deer on the property. The new proposed law changes will pertain to deer farmsand genetic facilitys only, the law is short and simple, If a deer is born on a state permitted breeder facility it is the sole property of the owner and ownership will be tranferable through TTT permits issued byt the state..
