Re: [nafex] deer prevention
I wonder if some monofilament is more visible than others. Someone
hypothesized on this board that deer are spooked by feeling something
they can't see. Certainly, they will push over a wire fence that is
much stronger than a monofilament fence.
Does it help to put the monofilament where it will be shaded at dusk?
