I missed the original post, but about the fence.......

Just a few days ago, I saw a film clip (background for a country singer),
and I was *amazed* to see how easily 3 deer jumped over a 4' fence, one by
one, no running start!!! Just up and over, nice and easy, sigh........


To keep deer out an ordinary fence should be at least six feet high.

A three strand electrified fence works much better.


Deer repellents are nearly worthless in the long run.

I zing Bambi and his pals in the butt with a pellet gun. It helps a
little;
at least they no longer stand there chomping when I open the garage
door.


If you have idiots in the neighborhood who think deer are cute and
need to be fed, you will never be rid of the bamboids. Putting out
food for deer is like putting up a "Free Eats!" sign in every yard
nearby. When they finish eating the corn or other goodies that fools
put out, the deer simply roam around looking for more. When they
can't find it, they'll eat what's available.
