And it appears Frank Nicely has been planning to start a deer farm for either himself or his cronies, or both. Nothing else makes any sense for him to have been pushing so hard for "deer farms".Beekeeper said:This is just a means for existing deer farms . . . . to expand their customer base.
I think the refrence to farmed animals was for traditonally farmed animals. I don't think you will find anywhere there was a wild herd of Jersey Cows or a flock or Rhode Island Red.JWW4 said:I agree with most of what he said except all animals were wild before they weren't. Goats, sheep, cattle, chickens, pigs, dogs, cats, llamas and everything else we farm was wild before we started farming it.
If preventing CWD is the reason then I'll go along, but if the only reason to not allow deer farming is to keep them wild, I don't. Just because something is now farmed does not mean it totally disappears from the wild.

Thats dumb,but makes sense.BSK said:Deer farming is a big pyramid scheme. 90% of the market is simply selling farmed deer to other deer farmers just starting up. They MUST enlarge their base (areas where deer farming is legal) to make any money, hence the push to open deer farming in new locations.
That is exactly what is going on. You can go to the deer farming message boards and find discussions abou the need to expand the market for "breeder bucks".Football Hunter said:Thats dumb,but makes sense.BSK said:Deer farming is a big pyramid scheme. 90% of the market is simply selling farmed deer to other deer farmers just starting up.

On the other hand,being a "breeder" for a job,sounds pretty goodPursuit Hunter said:That is exactly what is going on.
