As written the preserves could use any legal weapon ANYTIME they are open. As written deer drives INSIDE the fence are not banned. As written baiting could be allowed since the owners could argue that such a DNR regulation is impeding their business. There's no option requiring a distance between the fence and the treeline hence increasing the chance of a tree falling on the fence and leading to escapes. No option to prevent from using drones in aiding hunting. Not sure if dogs could be used or not. As written I would say they could.

This may be the best we can get but it's not enough and leaving DNR with no rulemaking power really defeats the purpose of involving them. Even the bird preserves are regulated by the DNR. Why not the deer preserves?
