I like that proposal Salmo, especially the enabling legislation. To be clear, though, there are deer "Hatcheries", called farms. where some of the most grotesque bucks are set;ectively bred for sale to folks managing deer on their ground.

Texas, and at least much of the southeast, has taken deer farming to pretty high densities such as 100 per square mile. Plenty of quality bucks, lots of meat does, but it costs. On the other hand, making deer a sustainable industry keeps the land in farming/ranching rather than McMansions on 5 acres.
