About Deer Fences
 
Barrier deer fences can be found with many different heights and materials. Most deer fences range in heights from 6 to 15 feet. Shorter fences work as well as taller fences because deer rarely jump fences – they will look for a way around or through them. They’ll try to find holes created by smaller animals, weak points along the fence line, or nose underneath the fence (most common). Most of the time, a 7' height is plenty.
 
The average white tail deer can jump as high as 15 feet, but they are hesitant to jump any height or barrier unless threatened. This is why 7' deer fencing is most commonly used.
 
Another deterrent to keeping deer from jumping fences is the color spectrum they are able to see. Because of this, it is difficult for them to discern where the top of the fence ends and the trees or sky begin.

About Deer
 
Deer ticks carry the bacteria that cause LYME disease.  One deer will facilitate the birth of ONE MILLION Deer Ticks per year!  WOW! But when deer and other pests are excluded from your property, your tick counts will see a 90% REDUCTION!

 

 

• Deer have multiple stomachs, so they don't need much time to devastate a large property.
• Deer eat green plants in the spring and summer, and corn, acorns and other nuts in the fall. In the winter, they eat the buds and twigs of woody plants.
• Whitetail deer are the most common in Connecticut and New York, and can live up to 10 years in the wild.
• Deer around your home are much more shy of strangers than neighborhood residents.
