Fencing is the most effective deer exclusion device bar none, even in the opinion of professional cullers. In combination with underpasses, overpasses and one-way gates, it can cut the Deer-Vehicle Accident rate by over 90%, whereas culling can cut it by only about 25%. Further, whereas culling has to be repeated year after year at considerable cost, fencing is a one-time up-front expense, with a life-expectancy of some 25 years, requiring minimal maintenance. Where fencing is not feasible, a range of repellents and deterrents can fill the gap, without resorting to divisive cruelty and bloodshed. |
