The 1000 acre guy paid (upfront and in future taxes,etc) much more for property compared with the 100 acre guy. You say "big money man with 1000 acres" kind of like Obama talks down about wealthy people like they're inherantly evil. The 100 acre guy could also fence his place. All goes back to property rights. No one else is paying the 1000 acre man's property taxes or mortgage. He should be able to do what he wants to (within state law) on his personal property as long as it doesn't affect your personal property (land). Wild deer are no one individual's personal property, so as long as state law is followed I have no problem.

Most large game fences are built to keep deer out, not in, to manage the overall deer herd & habitat.


You hit the nail on the head, wild deer are no one individual's personal property..............therefore when you fence them in, what have you done??????? Are you going to give me a key so I can come in and take a few deer that belong to the State??


Now you'll tell me I can't dam up a creek that runs through my property to make a lake, because game & fish are both regulated by the state. If I built a lake, the fish are confined to my property and can't go downstream to your property. But I still have to abide by state Game & Fish laws because these game fish are owned by the state of Alabama. This sounds like Hugo Chavez/Daniel Ortega/Raul Castro...take away personal property rights from private land owners.



They will stop you from damming a creek on you property in a minute. You cant hardly build a pond in florda anymore. Its about to get a lot worse in alabama.
