My neighbor has his feeder and food plot fenced off. The deer still utilize both of them regularly. Might try out just 3 strands to make it a little easier for them to get in and out.

why not just put up a bobwire fence around it? it will keep the cows out fine. I would imagine that an electric fence wouldkeep deer from using the feeder.
