[Apple-Crop] Deer Damage

[Hugh Thomas]

I tried everything I could find out here in Montana - the commericial
products, bars of soap, sprayed-on soap and somethings I forgot. I found
the solution with an eight-foot hi tensile wire fence around our property.
The MSU research station near us has an eight foot electric fence, and the
mule deer get on their sides and squirm under the lower wire.
