Is there a specific law pertaining to how high a fence can be in regards to whitetail deer?

The scenerio is, a gentleman has an 8' fence he has placed between properties. By his own admittance, it is to prevent "his deer" from going to the neighbors. Is there any regulations against that?

Thank you.

A law does not exist that limits or restricts the height of a fence on private property. However, if a person is permitted for specific animals and activities, such restrictions do exist but they are typically a minimum height requirement.

It is extremely hard to provide proof of something that does NOT exist.

The information provided in the answers to these questions is not to be considered or implied to be legal advice. The information is to educate individuals on Indiana Code and the Indiana Administrative Code as they pertain to regulations with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. A person should contact an attorney for legal advice.
