I think most states allow the removal of non licensed and unprotected animals that are damaging property.
Anything that requires a sportsman license or is protected will most likely need a nuisance permit for remove from residential property....good luck getting one for cannibis
.
I like the fence energizer idea, I think that has the best chance to really deter the deer.
@PadawanWarrior In MA all animals taken by nuisance permit must be submitted to Enviro Police.
We did a Canadian Goose cull at my golf course and didn't get to make one ounce of jerky
I guess that's how they prevent abuse of these permits by people looking to up their yearly bag limit.
