Each species, whether native or exotic, requires planning to get the results you want. Whether you plan on a commercial hunting operation, recreational hunting or just wildlife observation, starting with the right plan will make a world of difference in the results you achieve.
1. Whitetail deer work well with cattle in a low or high fenced operation. The important thing is the fencing configuration, the location of water resources, food plots and feeders, predator control and proper rotation of the cattle.
2. Some exotic species compete with native deer for food. Some reproduce quickly and some damage the habitat you are trying to improve. So before you stock your ranch with animals other than native species, it is essential that you check with an expert in these issues.
