That dirty rotten scoundrel jumped easy peasy right thru those 2 lines…. I’ve seen them clear a 7 ft fence but I’ve never seen them exhibit such ballet worthy finesse…. Great video.
they are definitely sneak critters. I have since added more wires and they have not made it through again. glad I installed the security cam to see how they were doing it.
Deer do not generally like to jump wide or into anywhere when they can't see where they're going to land. If you use double fences or outer fence & inner hedge, spaced about 3-4 feet apart, they will not jump. These don't need to be more than 4-5 feet tall. There are plants that they generally won't touch---they've never even looked at my laurel bushes or rosemary plants. And the super simplest way I've found, esp. for small or temporary spaces, is to loosely roll lengths of wire fencing about 2-3 feet wide, then lay the rolls down 2 deep, all around the area to protect. This has kept them out of my rose garden (they love roses, but mostly in the spring). Just be sure there's not too much or too little space between the inside roll & your plants. Building taller & taller fences is a lot of work & they can jump 7 feet when you've so thoughtfully made a nice, cleared space for them to land. Of course, if they are truly hungry & food is scarce, all bets may be off!
Love Love this video!! Thank you, will definitely be using your deer deterrent tactics when I design my garden area - love that you don't have electric or barb wire that can hurt the deer! I absolutely love my deer but don't want them eating from my garden. Thanks for taking the time to show us your great ideas to deer proof gardens!
What a nice huge garden! I have homicidal thoughts towards the deers when they eat my plants. They just ate my corn and young star jasmine vines! Arrrggghhh
Your garden is lovely! What work. But it’s always in progress. I know it’s an investment. But what isn’t? Once you get that all nailed down. It will be smooth sailing. You have the TRUE GARDENER mentality. “I WILL WIN” 🤣. Thanks for the vid!
I think deer around my farm hide in the woods & watch to see me leave then come to eat everything I have. Got them on camera during the day eating. I like your style of prevention. Gonna do it.
That’s great, got to fence them out, I have couple gaps, got to cover them What do u do about the underground intruders ? They’ve been digging holes under the fence, chewing thru, real problem, the fruit trees r safe, other stuff on the ground got to figure out !!! Any ideas ?
I still have some possums that climb the fence and others that dig under. but they only get some low plants and not my grape vines. I place corrugated plastic pipe on the base of all by fruit trees so nothing can chew at them and it protects from weedwhacker as well.
Aside from my drunk neighbor, these rascals are quickly becoming my nO.1 nemesis. They don't touch my banana trees, ...pretty much nothing else I plant stands a chance.
Yeah electric and spacing it out. Height alone won’t keep them from jumping. Used to live near military land with 10ft fences encircling it and deer jumped it all the time.
What type of cable do you use for the grapes (the one that runs al the way up top) and what wires do you use as intermediate between the fence and top cable? Thank you for the video!

You'd admire the suckers if you didn't want to kill them for decimating all your hard work.

Thanks Glad it was helpful!, it took me a while to get it right. the Video Camera really helped solve the problem.
My deer have eaten laural bushes roses I like the idea of fishing line or wire

Deer is a mass/noncount noun. Please don’t say “deers.”
