Default how high deer fencing?

What is at the bottom of the garden? Is it a two-or-more-storey house?


No it's another garden 200 foot long.



If so you should get very reliable kills at that range with a rifle from
an upper window, provided your stalker can shoot down so that the ground
acts as a safe back-stop. Muntjac venison. Yummy! Ask at your local
gunsmith for a contact.



Never heard of people eating Muntjac but it's very tempting at the
moment. They are incredibly ugly things with big fangs very unlike the
prettier Roe or other deer.
They can't really get a run at the hedge and fence as the hawthorn is 9
foot high and quite Thick they seem to almost spring over the 4 foot
stock fencing into the midst of the thorns.
