Well, guessI learn something new every day. I would have never guessed they could jump that high!

GRRRR I have not received my issue yet.
But I now know why can you say EXPIRED![:@][:@][:@][:@]
I will renew but I have access online still.
I know my encounter with a 180" class buck that damn fence cost me him. Barb wire 6 inches above the fence and I hit it.
I usually see them jump your basic 4' fence if that is the size of them. Uneducated guess here.

I saw a small buck get cocky and try to "float" over a 5 foot tall fence and his back legs didnt make it. He got loose after about 30 seconds. I would have gone down there and pulled him off it if he would have gotten stuck.

ive seen them jump 8ft cattle panels to get into our corrals and eat leftover grain. If they were pressured, they might go 10ft or higher

8' oops my deer are going to get out[]

When I was in the military I was stationed in MD. The place had 8 foot fence with double razor wire on top. I watched two deer leap over it. It was easily 9 foot. plus wide at the top. standing close they just hoped over. One hung up for a second but it was a smaller one. I'm sure it regretted it.

Impressive to say the least. I was only about 30 yards away too.

Deer can jump 8 foot fences but they don't unless they are extremely afraid. Even then it's a risky jump. Remember Texas... they protect their deer behind 8 foot fences and rarely lose a deer from a deer jumping.

was that in this past month's issue Jeff? I can't believe i missed that. I think that mag is one of the best out there.
