Deer Raising

[Jake Levi]

Hi 'Wrangler

No, I didnt know of them but will check them out, Pinconning is just about 45 miles south of me so very doable.

My preference if I can find them is Reindeer, a trio or pair to start.

We'll see.

Right now no large animals, just Icelandic Chickens and some Bantams. Plus 3 cats who own all . That will change this year.

I saw several not too far from where you live (Jackson area) a few years ago off I-94

Jake, you still in Michigan? You might want to look into Deer Acres by Pinconning. They sell their extra deer and elk from time to time

Yeah that would be at the Whitetail Hall of Fame, deer farm and museum... They have a bunch of white deer.


Sorry Jake, I don't know of anyone that has caribou,, though I'd personally love to have a few myself!

Hi. Im looking to get 2 fallow deer. 2 unrelated. Was wondering if you could tell me about them and what they eat and how much it costs to feed.

how tall of fence would you need to keep deer in?

I know someone who raised a deer since it was a baby, some hunter shot its mom :/ Hunting is also forbidden in his area, the people there put signs up at the dirt road that say "NO HUNTING". It's a small little country area that has people living in the mountains too, that's where the deer guy lives. Bless his heart.
I visited his property before to see the deer, seems to be a doe and I don't know too much about it.. It lives peacefully amongst his 7 or 8 dogs. That was a couple years ago though. I have no idea if he still has it or not.

I know this is old, but was wondering why it's harder to raise deer & elk in Michigan? Thanks!
