Deer fawns for sale?

[Stina]

The white tails in farms are domesticated (not wild and don't have the fears that wild deer have) and as mentioned, it is legal in some states. The deer are not all raised for hunting...I was under the impression most were bred for meat (without the hunting part). I agree that raising them for hunting is not right....

lol Why don't you just get a goat .... Same thing

That's how I feel about deer farms/fenced hunts/game farms....

ITA: those people deserve to starve to death.

My husband says that "Vegatarian" is the indian word for "Bad Hunter"

this is correct. although some larger "ranch" breeders, use them for canned hunts. for the most part the deer that you see for sale are domesticated and are no different than people keeping horses. were horses just magically domesticated? how about dogs? i don't think so. all domestic animals were bred to be so. including deer. people just get all "that's not right" because they can actually go see wild deer still. not so easly done with wild horses is it? and that, is the only difference.

I'm not sure, but I think in tennessee its illegal to own a wild animal, but i hate it to see hunter salt a place, then hunting season put up their little hideaways in the trees and shoot the animals that come for the salt, makes me want to shoot them THATS NOT HUNTING

I don't know how 'domesticated' white tail can be. We have a friend who raises them, usually keeps a buck or two and a couple does, and they are very skittish, still very much wild even though he has the human-raised or "domesticated" strain.

They can be affectionate if raised-my grandmother raised one called Thumper who would come out of the woods & visit her for years... but are still a wild animal, in my opinion. I'd rather have a pet that you don't have to hold a license to keep, and one more likely to be content in pet boundaries.

I'm thinking when you go to a restaurant that features 'bison' 'elk' or 'venison' on the menu, it hasn't been 'hunted.' Generally, these game farms exist to sell meat (at least here in PA). I'm wondering if selling the fawns is legal though? Perhaps this fellow is planning on closing and hopes to turn a quick $$$ before he sells out?

Mrs. Glassman :

They are mostly for rich people who want to say they killed a deer, but are too stupid to be able to get on the sporting way.

I am also against deer farms, and fenced hunts. It's been reveled that often the deer are drugged so they are not able to flee, so that the 'big spender' will have a better "hunt".

For crying out loud, if that's the only way you can outsmart a deer & put food on the table, you SHOULD starve to death.

I agree with a lot of what you said, but at the same time my dad and uncles own an elk ranch. Over the years I think we've had maybe 100 different elk, and I think they've only ever sold four elk to hunting areas, and none were drugged when they left, so I wouldn't say all farms are horrid. Our elk are mainly raised for meat and the horns, which are cut off in their 'velcro stage' and made into vitamins.

I also want to add that I am against fenced hunts. My entire family hunts wild animals. We own quite a bit of farm land that a lot of city people think they can trespass over and litter on and take as much as they want, really ticks me off.​

This is a big sore spot with DH. He is a hunter & HATES deer farms.

Does your husband spend alot on hunting? Is he one of the people that donates thousands of dollars each year to defend the right to hunt?​
