I'm not buying it!

This buck is reported to be a captive-raised deer that is now free to try and make a living on his own. The state mandated the fence be taken down.

I can not believe that a state wildlife agency would sanction the release of a pen raised deer into the wild. Most times they are petrified that the pen raised deer are going to introduce CWD or other diseases. I think the more likely scenario would be that they would petition for killing the deer.

There might be more to this story than what is presented.
 
I have a hard time believing that a grower would just "let" this deer go. Iowabruce knows more about this than me, but I bet the owner of the deer would fetch a pretty penny for that buck on the market. I don't know dollar amounts, but I bet that deer is worth more than most of us make in a year, so I don't really grasp the "tore the fence down and let him free" thing.

I agree...that guys is sporting a lot of bone. To just let him go into the wild would be almost unthinkable.
