Research from BYU wildlife sciences professors finds that when hunting season starts, elk in Utah move off of public lands — where they can be hunted — and onto private lands — where they cannot be hunted. And then, when hunting season is over, they shift right back to public lands.
I've read that there's kind of an impasse to rewilding Scotland. In order to to reintroduce predators, private landowners would ask for the installation of fences, but Scotland has a "right to roam" enabling the freedom of all persons to walk and hike anywhere. As a result, fences are not able to be installed as they would prohibit roaming on public and private land.

Fences wouldn't stop wolves anyway. They're smart, and they can dig and jump.
