| Electric Fences for Keeping Out Deer and Elk If you didn’t plant your landscaping or garden as a deer feeding station, the ability to keep deer out of your yard becomes important. Deer present some unique challenges, but it can be done. Deer often move quickly from one feeding area to another and frequently run through electric fences without even seeing them. 
So the first step in successfully keeping deer out is to put up a sturdy and highly visible fence. In most instances this means a 6-foot tall, permanent high tensile electrified fence. Deer have a heightened sense of smell so using peanut butter or molasses on a pie tin to bait the fence will attract and slow them down. The bait will prompt deer to touch the fence with their nose or tongue, receiving a safe but intense shock. A shock in front of the eyes causes the deer to back up and leave the area. After one or two encounters with an electric fence, deer will look for other sources of food. If a permanent high tensile fence is not an option for you, another possible solution is to use 7-foot T-posts with 7 strands of poly wire or poly tape, spaced 10 inches apart. Use a low impedance fence charger that produces 4,000 to 5,000 volts on the fence. Note: To contain deer or elk, visit the pages on exotic animals - deer and elk.
