Default how high deer fencing?

How high does Muntjac fencing need to be? i have standard stock fencing
round the garden across hawthorn but the blinking things are coming in
from next door where the person who rents the house encourages them.
Just seen 3 busy helping themselves to whatever's left of winter crops at
the bottom of the garden. They seem to just hop over the four foot stock
fencing and through the hawthorn.

Gardens are about 200 foot long but they don't seem to cross any nearer
the house than about 50 foot from bottom.

Now I've lost the dogs and can't get any more until i have time to be in
for a puppy there's no longer a deterrent on four legs!


Found this:
http://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/fcpn9.pdf/$FILE/fcpn9.pdf

it's a big file, over 6mb, but seems to be state of the art about muntjac
fencing, hope it helps.
