I'm not against deer farms at all, many of them sell to outfitters that offer free range hunts.
Bry, can you clarify this statement for me?
I have talked to several outfitters in the midwest at trade showsthat said theyhave bought straws from operations like this. They said they will have their biologist tranqulize and inseminate as many does as they can from their property. My first question was if it was worth it considering the doe could be killed before giving birth, there could be fawn mortality, the offspring could be a doe, the offspring could displace to another property, etc. all due to being a non-fenced operation. They said that if they inseminate enough the genetics would be there making it worth the risk to improve the genetics of the herd.

Granted I talk to hundreds of outfitters at these shows and maybe 2 or 3 have said they have done this and the ones that do are extremely expensive, but it does exist from what I've been told.
I don't think this right at all!! Your messing with mother nature here.
