deer?

goats, chickens, pigs, pheasants, guina fowl, geese, etc. these all are critters that will stay there but will not necessarily clear/clean the land. All are low maintenance and yummy. Not deer as there is not enough room for them.

I stocked a private island in Maryland with guineas, for a tick reduction study. Big problem is predators. Eagles and fox. Second keeping water and feeders stocked because all the wildlife likes easy food.
Deer fox bear even bobcats swim really well for free range birds.
If this is a drop off and come to check on them a few times a year You'll probly get to meet animal control or dnr with animal abandonment papers. How would you keep them from walking across the frozen river to greener pasture?

How big was your island? I am from there and looked at a single family on Smith Island last year. I love life there, so warm and sunny. Hated the humidity and bugs...

Sounds like something out of Orwell's book "1984"
