These are all good points. Yes it is 300+ acres and they can run away and you can miss or they bust you. This is all true, however these deer are raised in a pen. For several years and feed by humans. After 2-3 years of, people = food these deer will not be so cautious when they see a hunter. They have no reason to fear man. Some of these deer a released to the "hunting" area days before the season. I saw a show just 2 days ago, I believe it was Alan Warren outdoors. They were at a deer farm. The deer were in pens no bigger that a football field. They brought them food supplements and such each day. These deer in no way acted like wild deer. I can't quite decripe it but it was like a happy carefree attitude. I have never seen a wild deer act like this before. Once they get out of their pen and moved to be hunted they are not going to all of a sudden gain all these wild instincts.
