Ok. So I know the EE has no comments for good reason, but in this case, I just can't help myself. This is just too... conversation worthy.

I'll edit it a tad to make it less identifiable but... whatever.


currently on the EE:

I own 470 acres in ... Manitoba ... Property is in one block and has 200 acres of old growth hardwoods (poplar, oak, maple, ash), about 200 acres of hay and the remainder is marshy but usually dries out by fall. Property is very private and only accessible by road on the east.

I want to fence the 4 mile perimeter of the property with 8 foot game fence and stock it with elk, bison, boars and other exotic species.

I am looking for a serious hunter investor to make this a reality. As my partner in such a venture, you will have hunting opportunities for yourself into perpetuity on this property for whatever species and trophies we can acquire for the property, with the idea being a self sustaining herd of elk, bison and boars or whatever else we decide.

The esimated cost will be $40,000 for fencing, $30,000-$90,000 for animals. I was already looking at a herd of elk 40 animals ready to move CWD certified free for $60,000 just as an example.

If you are a serious hunter and 100k seems a reasonable investment to start hunting multiple species every year for the rest of your life, please respond with a name and contact number so we can seriously talk about making this happen.

I already have over $100,000 into the property and will allow you the use of my newer high end camper trailer and generator for your hunts.

Is this something people do?

If I'm a troll, I don't self-identify as one lol. Who's "you know who?" Not trying to trash the poster or anything, that's why I left his name out and removed some of the locationy stuff. I was just curious if this is something people really do: buy a bunch of trophy animals, put em on a farm and charge people to come kill them?... I would have thought there'd be regulations preventing such a thing in Canada, but who knows.

He tries.

On, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on,....
 
There is someone here in Hamilton with some farmland half a mile away from residential developments that has bought some farmland, fenced it and stocked it with some wild bore. Not sure in the numbers or how he intends to hunt them.
 
I effing love that guy.

He has dreams of a private hunting preserve, but can't afford it, so wants someone else to pay for it. It's awesome and fun! :)
 
Fencing is expensive. To fence off 470 acres with a game proof fence would be A lot of money. To build a 4' page wire fence with a post every 12' is almost $2/ft plus labour.

As in WAY, WAY, WAY LOW....

Yeah, less than 2$ a foot for a eight foot fence wouldn't cover the labour to put the posts in, let alone the costs of posts and fencing.
OP,
Take a moment and read some of his threads, they are filled with high hopes, big dreams and a hint of never gonna happen.
 
kodiakjack,

I appreciate the publicity. Unfortunately in many provinces, especially Manitoba, the government has done a poor job of managing big game populations at sustainable or growing levels. Some of you may be aware that the future of big game hunting in Manitoba for especially moose and elk has been called into question due to drastically declining populations over the past few years with no sign of recovery. Even white tailed deer populations are so low that a season closure was considered but the alternative, bucks only was voted in at the Manitoba Wildlife Federation Annual General Meeting in 2015 as not to punish hunters and landowners who practise sustainable harvest, for example taking older mature animals and avoiding harvest of females, also known as quality deer management.

I understand many of you have hunted or plan to hunt in another country for example United States or South Africa, where game preserves are the only hope for sustainable wildlife populations and hunt ranches or farms as they are misleadingly called are an economic alternative to farming or cattle ranches.

I am of the opinion that wildlife is a public resource and as a member of the public, as a hunter and conservationist it is my duty to invest in the future of wildlife, hunting, and responsible long term use of the resource, in this case wildlife when the government clearly fails to do so.

If their are any other members present that share this long term conservation philosophy please consider investing along side me and know that you will be ensuring the survival of a species and the hunting heritage of generations to come.

Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to further explain my rationale and intentions behind the venture.

Yours in conservation,

Jeff

There was a place up by Mt Forest that was a wild hog hunting farm. You can do it, just need the proper permits and approvals doing it for commercial purposes.
And fencing is expensive especially for species that has potential to transmit disease to wild populations, this isn't a 4ft cattle fence that can be lined with electric wire.

But but but, you get to use his Camper! AND generator!

Strangely enough, I think the various Government agencies will agree with my view that putting a fence around wildlife doesn't make them yours to sell.

He will need to have about ten or twenty times his budget, just to get a decent stock of ear-tagged, bucket trained deer, aka: livestock, if he expects to do anything other than dink around with the few deer that happen to get stuck inside his wire, if he ever gets it that far. Especially so, if he expects to do so without being bound by whatever restrictions the Province chooses to place upon the hunting of the species he thinks are his, if they were not bought and placed there as livestock.

Yeah. African game preserves. Come back to the table when you can afford to put a fence up around several hundreds of square miles.
 
I have read this whole thing (unfortunately)..... FYI, it takes a 15 foot fence to contain a whitetail.....

Also, comparing a 400 acre piece of land to an African conservancy is like comparing half a chicken nugget to a Double Big Mac... if not worse.... Ozondjahe in Namibia alone is 75,000 acres....
 
Just...wow. Putting a fence around wildlife doesn't make it yours to do what you want with, flaunting Provincial game laws. The North American conservation model is completely different from European and African process and there would have to be . Sure, you can go to Texas an hunt exotics on 777 Ranch's 15,000 acres, but I would rather be hit in the nuts than hunt on a patch of ground 5 miles by 5 miles. Laurentian Wildlife Estate in Quebec and their1500 acres of red stag and whitetail is similar bull####. This country is almost 4 million square miles and most of it crown land, so you can take your 2 mile by 2 mile pasture and stuff it up your ass.
