9. Anyone who keeps cervidae listed in Schedule II in captivity without a licence shall erect and maintain an enclosure surrounded by a game fence at least 2.4 m high, having square meshes not larger than 15 cm between the vertical strands and at least 20 horizontal strands; the outside and inside lateral clearance of that perimeter fence must be at least 3 m from any obstacle that could reduce the minimum height of 2.4 m and the fence must be stretched tight near the ground so that no cervidae may pass under it; the distance between the posts of the fence may not exceed 8 m.

Furthermore, the perimeter fence of the enclosure must have no trap or barrier to capture animals outside the enclosure; in addition, the gates of the perimeter fence must remain closed, even in the absence of animals.
