Fencing for Deer: What Not To Do

Thinking about building a new fence? Well, if you care anything about deer in your area, avoid building fences that look like the one pictured here. Basically, any variation of the ornamental iron fence seen here should be avoided to prevent continually finding dead deer around your residence/property.

This buck was found hanging on this pointed-iron fence after attempting to cross. However, in addition to making wildlife-friendly fences, be sure to make gates equally as friendly as deer will try to pass through these as well. Check out this deer that got hung on a gate. Think ahead, get the word out, and let those deer get older!
