That was a point I was going to bring up. In most state the deer are public property. Not private. The state sets the hunting season and the limits. It does the prosecuting if one is poached and receives the fine. Deer are public property therefore the state can say don't feed the deer, no baiting. Now on the other hand a landowner should have the right to say to the state "get your deer off my land." That's one thing I asked that Warren guy about but he didn't have a real good answer other than "most land owners in Texas do a lot of work to improve the deer herd with and without the states help", in reference to high fencing. My point is that still doesn't make them yours. Its the same as stealing park benches. So I think that's where the "Its my land" comes into play. Yes its your land but the deer belong to everyone.
