As I stated in my original post, I have personally seen a deer successfully jump this fence...so they can leave if they want to. I've only seen it once and maybe this particular deer was wearing Nikes with springs in them in order to make the jump. I'm not sure if getting over 8 feet is a big deal or not, but this one did it easily.

The fence is there, and the deer can't get around it, that's a high fence hunting area. It may not be set up that way, or designed with the hunter in mind, but it is still a high-fence hunting scenario. A close friend of my dad owns a high fence operation in the U.P. of MI and he has 1450 acres under fence, that is just 250 acres shy of that military installation. Is it the same thing? His deer can't leave either. Feeders and guides don't make a high-fence, the fence does.
