Take away the fence and bring back the natural predators. | 
	
 ummmmmmm.....are you kidding me?
When did I ever say that we kept the deer in and moved all of the natural predators out. Please tell me you actually don't think this is what happens when you have a hunting ranch or any type of large land ownership. I'd like to see you try to remove all of the countless numbers of bobcats, moutain lions, coyotes, etc. etc. etc. No, this doesn't happen and I have never seen or even heard of that.  
This isn't the mid 1800's. Ranches are going to be fenced in.....especially when you have cattle on your land...like we do. Fencing separates property to property and keeps out people you don't want.
