I do respect dep's point of view and respect his right to believe as he does. It probably really is a result of how you were raised and were taught as well as the area you are from. For instance, I live and hunt in the "deer factory" of Texas, the Texas hill country. I don't know of any counties in this area that issue doe tags anymore (not in the last 15 years) and they have never issued buck tags, so at least in this area, there are no limits on numbers of deer that can be taken. Surely, a game warden would take a close look at any property where that many deer come off, but they could all be taken legally. After all, just a family of 4 could take 16 deer legally off this property. I will continue to argue that this is too many deer for anyone to take off of 10 acres. I promise you that there are many areas where this is actually being done, at least in the hill country.

If reference to the deer being in jail. A deer on 10,000 acres has everything he needs to live a happy, normal (granted slightly restricted) life.

The only argument that really makes any sense to me is that the person with the high fence is restricting movement of "my" deer. Since the "people" of Texas own the deer and not the landowner, I would have to say that is a valid point, and not one for which I have a good comeback. However, I will not concide that a deer on 10,000 feels restricted or in jail. Sorry. We just have to agree to dissagree on this one.

Even if I was against high fencing, I would not be for laws restricting their use, because that is "big brother" telling me what I can and can't do on my own property. That would scare me.

Good hunting everyone, whatever the size of your property! And remember, size matters! LOL.
