Re: [OM] Latest Combination

No, our deer are quite adept at jumping fences too.  But even so they 
won't bother if there is something else good to eat nearby that doesn't 
require jumping the fence.  There is a small herd of a dozen or so that 
wanders my neighborhood.  My 4 foot tall (1.2 meter) back yard fence 
keeps them out since my neighbors without fences have equally tasty 
vegetation in their yards.  But my neighbor 2 doors away who also has a 
fence finds it not 100% effective when his very large garden is 
producing even tastier goodies.
