As I'm new and wanting to get into raising a few deer, my question is how do you keep your "stocker" buck wild and not becoming tame in a small operation, of only a few acres.

ignore them, don't spend a lot of time in with them, watch them from a distance. It helps to have a feeder that holds enough feed for a week or more at a time, that way they don't see you delivering food to them everyday.

If you move your stockers bucks to a larger enclosure, it shouldn't take long for them to be tails up running with the rest of the crowd!
