    Big Horses – we got some of the same issues. The most reliable deterrent is a fence but instead of going for 8ft tall, run a regular 46 – 54 inch tall fence (permanent) and then during problem deer season run a stand of temp poly wire on step in posts about 3 ft outside the perm fence. Deer won’t jump the width – get shocked by the e- wire .. We can hear them snorting out of frustration but keeps them out of the garden.

    We find that a 1968 GMC fire truck with a 1500 gallon tank and a fire ax work really well against ground hogs. Tip: block all but the hole that you are waiting at with axe.
