Hi,


Me and my wife would like to raise fallow deer on 40 acres.. High fence it just for our viewing pleasures. We have visits dozens of farms....is there any problems with this?


Thanks
 
I agree with Deerchaser! If money isn't an object however, you will have some beautiful animals to look at on your property!
 
I know a lot of folk who have deer just to "beautify" their property.


 


It was one of the things that surprised me with the "men who stare at deer" concept ( Its not gender bias, its just a fun name, women are welcome).  Many different people find deer valuable for many different reasons & who is to say one objective is above another. Deer are valuable for many reasons & I for one enjoy learning about those different values & reasons.

If you want them for viewing pleasure, go for it. However, the first thing you will learn how fast they multiply, so I recommend you should have a plan for the excess offspring. deer are very good at caring for themselves in a big habitat, but should also still get supplemental feed, and you should keep the population in check so they don't over browse the natural feed sources. Good luck, have fun.
