Deer Jumping Fences
Typically deer can jump over a six foot fence but there are certain circumstances that allow them to jump even higher than average.
Deer jumping fences. They either sense the electric or receive a shock and quickly change their mind about entering the garden. Our deer fence is electric and works on the principle that deer lack depth perception. Therefore your barriers must be at least 8 feet tall. As a deer approaches the outer fence it stops to contemplate distance between fences before jumping.
If you have ever seen the movie the yearling 1946 you know deer are great high jumpers capable of leaping 8 feet into the air.
