Are you saying without a double fence the deer french kiss and pass the cooties?

Double fencing with a buffer zone would greatly reduce contact with wild herds and to be honest IDGAS if it is more expensive, the other option is to outright ban it.

You're regulating what people can do with their private property.

When what you do with your property infringes on or damages other property you are subject to regulation, there is precedent for this. And to be honest anyone who is a true sportsman should understand the issue at hand.

Do some research on CWD and get back to me, there are some pretty scary possibilities. The fact is we just dont know enough right now so imo it is better to err on the side of caution.
