Default RE: 2 high fence senarios. Yes or NO?

Yeah, the fences on our leases are 4'-5', designed to keep the cattle in. Deer jump them almost as if they're not even there. If you've got feeders or food plots on your land (as most places in Texas do), the wild pig population will dig holes under the fences to get to the food.

Unfortunately, people are fencing smaller and smaller places. I don't have any problem at all with fencing 10,000 acres, as I think the deer still have more than enough places to run and hide. But, I've seen ads for game-fenced ranchettes that are under 200 acres, and my personal opinionis that that's too small.
