I am not concerned with high fence hunting these animals, but was just curious as to how you kept them. Beautifull specimens by the way.
Thanks.
X- Not sure how I missed your question so long ago but anyhow I will answer it now... All of the animals I posted are free roaming animals, the only fences on our ranch are barbed wire to keep the cattle in.... We do not raise these deer, we just supplement feed them.... From what I have read, they first introduced some of these exotics into the wild in the Hill Country area of Texas in the early 1970's and some have gotten out of fenced ranches over the years, I am sure and have bred and live in the wild now....
