This quote is from the link on page one of this thread about Dream Bucks High fenced pay hunt operations and is the reason Will wants to be able to bait his property. 350 deer on 1400 acres is a lot of deer and with this many I am sure it is hard to keep them healthy during winter months. Will is averaging almost 175 deer per square mile………..2-3 maybe even more times the norm in Alabama. So he has 2 choices available to deal with the issue.......kill more deer until the land can support the number of deer on the property or try and change the rules to allow baiting. One choice only affects Will and the baiting choice affects everyone and would allow Will to make more money which is the real reason for him pushing SB-346.


Good research, smokinya...that's the point I was getting at when I asked Dream Buck the question earlier. No wonder there are "nutritional gaps", as he calls it. I've never heard of many (if any) deer enclosures that didn't have an abnormally high population of deer. He ASSURED me that isn't the case inside their enclosure, however.

1 deer for every 4 acres inside that enclosure.
