Hi, Kevin Smyth. Here in New York, and other states and provinces, we learn
a lot from farmers who raise fallow deer, and hence place a high priority
on keeping them IN. Several systems are worth looking at - although some
are more *serious* (e.g. expensive) than you probably intend. Although this
plan you propose sounds rather pricey just the same. A packet on deer
farming, and addresses of the North American Deer Farmers Assn. is
available from the Farming Alternatives Program, Warren Hall, Cornell
University, Ithaca, NY 14853 (607) 255-9832. Good luck! Nancy Grudens
