[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5573997, member: 2805"] It's impossible to reduce stress in a free ranging herd to the same level that can be accomplished in a high fence... BUT those properties which have less stress on their animals have much healthier animals. Major stressors are lack of adequate nutritious food and overpopulation. Minor stressors are lack of security cover and predators. Aggressive habitat management will help reduce, but not eliminate all. Let's face it... deer have to be high strung and wound tight in order to survive. High stress is just their nature. But excessive stress opens them up to weakness from disease and parasitism.
