I was at a friends farm this weekend and was amazed! He built thousands of dollars of fencing (8ft high woven wire) in big timber to funnel the deer to certain "kill" locations.
Instead of using high dollar woven wire, do you guys/gals think 4 ft. tall silt fence (it's a black fence you see on the sides of roads to control erosion) would work.
My theory was that a 4 ft hight, they couldn't see through it and it would be tall enough where they couln't see over it so they wouldn't jump it cause they don't know what's on the other side? I've read where when deer aren't pressured they don't like to jump over things they can't see through.
Any thoughts?
I love the idea of funneling deer to a certain stand locations. How many of us have thought we had the perfect stand site and the big bucks didn't cross where we wanted them to?
