The barrier fence is designed as an obstacle not as confinement. An unpressured deer will usually walk around the fence (desired result). A pressured deer may jump right over it, depending on how it feels.
Agreed...........in or out of a pen.
I know you're smart enough to know the answer to this question........... but again, a perimeter fence is for confinement and an obstacle fence directs movement closer to your stand.
These two fences are not for the exact same purpose.
I think they are.........they are both put in place to affect a deer's movement and hopefully "steer" them to a hunter.......the more fences and/or the higher they are.........the more drastic the affect.
