What you're missing is that if you could do "anything you want on your property" then large corporations would very very quickly do things that you personally would find awful. They'd buy up sections of rivers and charge fees to pass through, dump anywhere, etc. etc.

You don't want the public to determine your property is vital and buy it... trust me. It's called eminent domain and the check you get isn't going to be as big as you think.


High fencing is interesting. Could see it becoming more popular as the price of land continues to climb and small parcels surrounding bigger properties get more and more pressure. High fencing 500-1000 acres that has 15+ small neighbors would let you have more control over the age class of the deer on your property and not worry about neighboring pressure. Heck... could just fence off sections around problematic neighbors and add as needed.
