ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the contentions that exist among agritourism providers, the hospitality industry, communities, and the population of wild white-tail deer in New Jersey, USA. The contemporary conundrum involving white-tail requires that agritourism providers and related stakeholders extend efforts to mitigate white-tail populations while often contending with the treatment of the carcasses. Agritourism can be considered as any business conducted by a farmer to generate added income and for the enjoyment or education of the public. Species overpopulation is creating strain on economic and agricultural commodities, causing significant damage to private property, farmlands, and forests. The desire to interact with deer brings revenue to the state from visiting nature tourists and sport hunting enthusiasts. Consumers have turned in greater numbers to venison for the provision of nutritious humanely raised and conscientiously processed protein. Collective action is the new economics framework indicator that relates to collective ownership and production through cooperative structures, including those that influence public provision.
