Natalie - I would contact your Wildlife Officer / Game Protector ... I bet they have information on keeping the wildlife out that will be safe for you and for them. When we bought this property, that's what I did, and a wildlife biologist came out and helped us figure out how to manage the property for wildlife - to make cover for turkey, pheasant, put up nesting boxes for ducks, all sorts of things, as well as giving us lots of advice on what to do when we had a "problem" animal.
Richard Norris of Ashwood Daylilies had a terrible time with deer. He ended up putting up two fences. I can't remember the specifics, but I think they were 8 feet apart - wide enough the deer could not jump both, and they were not likely to jump in between them. I think it was electrified too. Curt Hanson has a tall electric fence around his daylilies that is run on solar power.
