MD,
We had to dig up and replant new where the depredation killed the plants. We now have a 8,800 volts (min) six wire electric fence protecting everything we're growing. I did see a slack wire, and when I went to investigate found a pile of deer belly fur. I guess one thought it could slip thorough. Based upon the amount of fur on the ground and on the wire...I doubt it'll be back any time soon wink

As for shooting them. We take a shot at every coyote we see on our property, but that's it. We don't eat venison since they graze on GMO soybean and corn.
