There are different kinds of electric fence. You might find one that is
too
tall for the kids to reach, but a deer would get zapped when it lays its
neck across the top to look in.

I'm in southwestern British Columbia and the area we live in has LOTS of
deer and some bears in the fall. Anyone have a suggestion as to the
best
type of fencing to use to deter them.

We were thinking about electric fencing, but have concerns about that
because of the young children at our house and the neighbors - there's
no
fence between our place and theirs and their daughter comes over quite
often.

Thanks in advance

We have a 3 wire electric fence to keep the deer out. It is on a
timer. Comes on at sunset and goes off at dawn.

We'd have to keep it on 24/7 heree. The deer are around all the time!
