Well I think you know my position on this. But if it's happening year after year you wouldn't have the opportunity to manage them in the first place. Hey you just proved my/our point. You want to take these animals that are free roaming that have the ability to travel to other properties and fence them in so they can't. That's not right. Again it's simple. You even stated these deer will go to the next area if given the chance and you want to take their natural instinct and their ability to do that away from them and then shoot them. Just because you are feeding them and trying to manage the herd, doesn't mean that you should posses them. They are wild animals and keep them that way. Trying to do it for money or not, you don't own wildlife. Let me say that again WILD life. I would say to the person that owns the ranch to cut his losses and except a certain percentage of waste (as in any business) or get a new career. Boy this fence discussion is going to give me an ulcer. lol here we go again. Put up your dukes!!
