In your case most would not object

You could also have the state’s deer herd removed from your high fence property and pay to have it populated with your own, paid for whitetail.

The arguement is resource reimbursement. On either sized property, all the work is performed by the payer of the program. The state merely reviews the plans and puts a yearly report together.

I "m just grumpy over the proposed fee. I am in a 1 buck county high fenced. Put 10th generation "pen" deer (which state says they own and control) in to improve the genetics, which it has. But, I am forced to be in the MLD program to control my numbers, culling ect… because of 1 buck county. I cant even pay to bring in captive pen raised deer in from out of state without them becoming TX state property on MY property! If TX claims they are their deer. I can decide what I want to do on MY property, like high fence it, so if I'm feeding your deer on my property shouldn't I get reimbursed? Just makes no sense, common anyways, other than revenue for the state, I get it but don't charge me anymore to be forced to participate in a program.Last edited by RWNJRB; 01-22-2020, 11:59 AM.

I understand the complaint but everything you are complaining about you knew about before heading down that road.

You are 100% correct I knew everything except the added MLD fee. Now I'm invested, so I have no other logical choice except to bend over to whatever TX thinks is appropriate. Would be a lot easier to bend over to them if TPWD could 100% guarantee me that 100% of my tax is going to manage/improve the MLD program.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong on this.

IMO its another catch all implementation that works in some places, and doesn't in others. Our place in San Saba County is a great example of the MLD program. The WMA and biologist are heavily involved. In Colorado County its a bit different, most join MLD just to get doe tags. You have to if you want to shoot them during general season. It made some sense when there were few deer. Now there's doe days where non mld can shoot off their tags, mld is stuck with whatever was issued. Add a $30 fee for the privilege. Those who really want to manage or have longer seasons should pay for the extra work. Give everyone an equal starting point is all I'm saying.Last edited by jdg13; 01-23-2020, 01:06 PM.
