Wisconsin forester spearheads movement to stop landowners from using high fences, creating “gray area” game farms

Poet Robert Frost famously wrote that good fences make good neighbors. When it comes to hunting, not everyone shares Frost’s sentiment. 
A forester and former Jackson County Conservation Congress delegate in Wisconsin alleges that some landowners are putting up high fences to restrict the movement of wild deer, then either hunting those deer themselves or charging others money to hunt “wild” whitetails on their properties.
