MADSION, Wis. — The state’s chief game warden, Todd Schaller, hopes the Brush Ranch Outfitters case sends a message of zero-tolerance for illegal hunting operations. “This case has everything to do with the preservation and health of the state’s highly valued white-tailed deer resources,” Schaller said. “Captive deer farm fences, like the one at Brush Ranch Outfitters, are closely regulated in part to prevent the spread of disease between wild and captive deer.” He said that Brush Ranch Outfitters had encouraged contact between wild and captive white-tailed deer in direct violation of state fencing regulations.
