Bryan,
The WDFO has had their lobbyist watching the situation since it all began. At this time the lobbyists are saying there is no indication at this time that deer farmers will be affected in any way be the new law. It is dangerous animals only that they are cracking down on. It should be a wakeup call to Ohio deer famers though, as if this bill goes through they could very well be after us next.
When this all started we were a little worried about being able to legally do the auction this week but after a few phone calls and a lot of research there seems to be no indication that whitetail deer are included anywhere in the exotic animal ban.
