Is Deer Psychology Important?
Knowing how deer behave is essential to deer control. During the last half-century, as America's deer populations grew, more and more people came to see personally that Bambi could be destructive. So a broad spectrum of affected people—farmers, ranchers, arborists, estate keepers, landscapers, nurserymen, suburban gardeners, and assorted professional deer people—cobbled together an array of methods for repelling or excluding deer. This produced an odd mix of measures that sometimes appear to be at odds with one another even when they're not. For example, some homeowners claim passionately that mega-measures like towering 7-foot barrier deer fences don't work, because the deer leap over or burst through them. And yet we have vegetable gardeners who swear that lowly 24-inch electric deer fences do the job. There's no compelling evidence that any of these people have been hallucinating. So what's going on? What's really happening?
