Lonehollow Whitetails - Jeff Carr | Deer Farming 

mule, blacktail, Fallow, Roe, Sitka, Sambar, Elk, Moose, Red, water, muntjac. Many states, like OH, do not allow you to raise non-native deer species, out of concern that they may escape and compete with the native deer. For example, I could raise Whitetail and Elk and Bison ( obviously not a deer) in OH, but not Red Deer or Fallow Deer. You generally want to raise types of deer that naturally live in your area, to minimize management costs and eliminate extra infrastructure. I prefer the high fence Game-Reserve model (especially with the prolificity of CWD in deer and BTB and Brucellosis in bison), but the pen-model is much more efficient as a breeding facility (both in area land requirements and time). Many states also license businesses that raise game birds like pheasant, quail, pigeon, and doves. In a well managed, productive high-fence, you can count on about 6 WT sized deer per acre or 4 Elk per acre (or a combo, like 3 Elk and 2 WT, or 2 ELk and 4 WT, ect). Penn State Extension actually has a good premier on their site regarding Elk and Deer Farming up north, If you are interested. If I can ever get my butt in gear with my Fruit/vegetable farm, and make some half-way decent money lol; I'd like to accumulate about 300 acres to start a hunting/game-bird reserve.
