I have been asked to provide data on the economic impact of deer farming (both breeder operations and hunting preserves) to the Mississippi State Senate. I have a good deal of data on the exotic industry in Texas, but need as much data as I can get on Whitetails from other states.
Can any of you help me? If so, send any information you have to sssdeer@bellsouth.net
Nadefa sponsored a huge economic impact study a few years ago just for that purpose. Try contacting them tomorrow. I'm sure they can provide a bunch of information.
http://www.shepstone.net/PaDeer.pdfBack in 2007 there was a study done on the economic impact of the PA deer industry. It was No.2 at that time At $103 Million industry. Here is the link alot of good graphs,charts, and break downs with numbers that would give you a great wow factor.
