The Alward government had talked about banning deer farming after a man in northern New Brunswick was killed sometime ago by one of his own deer but will allow the farming of white-tailed deer in the province.
A review was done after the government got some pushback on a ban.
The provincial government will not allow pen hunting and farmers will not be permitted to sell white-tailed deer meat and other white-tailed products within New Brunswick.
Deer farmers will have to comply with provincial rules on fencing standards and identification of farmed deer in order to obtain a permit to keep white-tailed deer.
They will also be required to comply with any federal requirements in order to lessen the risk to wild populations of white-tailed deer.
