I've thought about fencing in my property, but it costs about $1.40 per foot, not including labor. I had 4 strands of barb up, and it worked pretty good. Last year a local hunt club that has the land beside me, cut my fence in two places so the deer would cross more in that location. Really pissed me off.They even had the nerve to cut the saplings along side of the field to make a"funnel" for the deer to travel. I called the sheriffs dept. and they saidto call the game dept. The game dept. hates me because, as they told a good friend of mine, I complain too much, and I caused them a great deal of problems.You see I write my delegates and congressman when I get mad.Maybe it helps, maybe it hurts. All I know is they are looking at outlawing the bad guys for a change. More power to the VDGIF if they protect all the people of Virginia, not just a few.
