This Land Is Your Land

Are there companies that will introduce game animals for a fee to your land?
I am wondering if these companies exist. By game animals I mean any type of hunting game that would be native yo your area or able to live in it (while not being counted as an invasive species). I ask because it would make sense that these companies or services exist to stock hunting ranches and such with game if need be.
I was just wondering because it would be a useful service for even non-hunters so they could introduce more wildlife to their land. And also I am just curious, links are appreciated.
These companies exist, but they’re governed by state law.
For example in PA you have to apply for and register your property as a game farm with the Department of Natural Resources (who can shut you down at any time at their discretion), maintain your property at their discretion (usually meaning at least one electrified 10 foot fence surrounding your property), and open your property up for random unannounced inspections. If an animal escapes, or if they find any pathogen that they feel may pose a threat to native wildlife, your property is “depopulated” and shut down. If the property owner or employee discovers a pathogen known to be a risk to native wildlife and fails to file a report and dispose of the animal, the owner is fined and the property is “depopulated”. There are also specific regulations about where and from whom you can obtain stock.
Pheasants are the exception in PA simply because the habitat is so poor and the farm-raised pheasants so stupid that they couldn’t establish a viable population in the wild like in the midwest.
Not all states are this strict, Texas is a good example, but it’s really up to your state’s DNR.
Also, the fact that someone can introduce wildlife onto their land doesn’t mean that the habitat can support the wildlife. If the habitat was suitable, desirable native species would likely already be there.
