Enjoy your purist red deer hunting in Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Spain, Poland, GDR, Scotland, Turkey, oh bugger, they all have managed wild herds and have for hundreds of years. So the reality of hunting is that it is managing game animals to balance their environment. This is how it has been for hundreds of years.Attachment 112857

i think he was more referring to fenced in as less of a hunting challenge as opposed to a true wild public land animal(which is far far different to something on a station).I agree with zack in that it’s still a fenced animal and shot as opposed to hunted.The animals on this station May be able to roam into public land but won’t as their foodsupply on the farm will be top notch and there whereabouts at almost all times will be known by the guide/farmer.
