    That's the point. They won't reproduce and you can easily get rid of them if you later change your mind about having exotics. I own several different exotics and I'd definitely do things differently if I could start over.

      Instead of just picking something and throwing it out there, I'd consult a wildlife biologist and ask them. They can go and get a better picture of what's there, and what can be introduced without messing up the whitetail herd.

          That's good! I need the BB population on our lease to hurry up and grow. I want one bad!

            Yep. Shoot them as they get old and huge!
            Or buy a few bucks and does and plan on killing them like I do pigs.

              Lol, they were crazy thick on your place. I've never seen that many at one time

                Yes, and they help you get a AG exemption,PLUS you have a target rich environment for the grandkids to come shoot or dart and take to auction
                Mature Blackbuck will kill younger for dominance. Always a risk, as with any investment. Axis and Sika will chase whitetail from feeders in my experience but get along good with other exotics.

                  I would pick an exotic that wouldn't compete for the same food source and browse. I know that there are a couple that prefer alternate food sources. Ask a couple of the big ranch guys on here. Ask Encinal. He has some good information.
