Teedub,

If someone with a 30 or 80 acre nursery is suffering significant damage from deer then it is most likely that other folks in the area are suffering damage too. I've got a neighbor who operates a vineyard who has all sorts of problems with deer, but so do the folks trying to grow corn in that whole area. You might also check into what it costs to deerproof fence 30 to 80 acres.

As a general rule of thumb, private property rights trump regulation of public resource game animals when things reach depredation levels. The only exception is usually if one is dealing with endangered species.
