It must be different in some other states, as I have a friend in a Southern state who owns property where he feeds and cares for a large herd of deer. He seems to be able to cull as many as he wants each year, but is careful to assure the overall health of the herd - BUT - he manages all that himself, not the state.
he may have actually stocked the property. lots of game ranches back east and down south have stocked properties with tall fences, so there is no comingling of public and private animals. I know guys with Elk herds. I have owned buffalo and my cousin has a large buffalo operation in Erie and up near Irvings land. So, we can own game animals. They are not caught from wild herds and fenced in though.
