No, my deer fences are not electric. The ones out in front of my home are placed with t-posts. No, not attractive, but they are solid and not really intrusive. All I see when I look at those beds are beautiful, healthy plants.
The deer fence at the top of the slope in back of my property is held up by wishful thinking. All of the posts have been braced, but it is an old fence and should be replaced. I think if a deer with a big rack just bumped it, the fence would fall over. However, the deer seem to think it's a real fence and seem to give it plenty of room ...
I am just glad we don't have elk in my part of the county. Elk just walk up to a fence and lean on it and walk right through. Bears do the same.
