Not going to come down on one side or another of this argument, but I wanted to show NYB... read the posts.
We are talking about miles to range and these guys feed a very expensive protein feed while bucks are in velvet. I dont blame them for high fencing because if he was to cross the fence and was a 140 class deer then you know what will happen.
Basically, if you allow the deer to go to a place where there are public land hunters, your management practices go for nothing.
