Trying to Stop the Deer

Living right next to the National Forest has its distinct advantages but there are always disadvantages. In this case, the chainlink fence is not enough, by itself, to stop deer. This fence is only about six feet high and deer can jump over it easily. The idea of the wood in the fence is to make the deer think more than twice about trying to jump. The wood provides an uneven and hard to judge surface. I have no idea if this works because it is not my fence, but it looks interesting nonetheless. We have a herd of about seven or eight deer that come to our yard area almost daily. They will eat an amazing variety of plants and so if we want flowers or other plants, we have to plant what the deer won't eat.
