How do farmers do it?

I have lived in farming areas all my life and a few years ago was told
how to protest against deer.
Put up an electric, one strand, smooth wire fence. From the fence,
hand bent strips of thin aluminum about 8 inches long. Place a strip
about every 15 feet of wire. Smear each strip with peanut butter.
This really works although the first deer may tear down the fence as
they jump. No, I am not a member of PETA and I can only imagine
putting your tongue on an electric fence. I just know from personal
use that this method works. I live in Tioga County , NY where white
tail deer are about the same as overgrown rats.

Excellent !! That is a very imaginative approach, and does no
permanent harm to the deer...... I bet it would also work on
wild pigs, which is the problem where I live......
Thanks for the suggestion.....
