Questions For Our Russian Friends

You're correct about deer fencing overall. If your raising commercially the fencing is just part of doing business. I was thinking about a friend of mine who has a really nice garden over in Iowa County (about 90 minutes west of here) and all the time we've spent building fences to try and keep the deer out of his garden. Whats the best way to explain this ................................? OK, he likes to jury rig everything as he doesn't have a lot of money. Not real good at planning a lot of things either. And always wants to do things his way (no matter what the experts say). So, I guess, we've had lots of interesting times building fences with little luck keeping the deer out. I do have to say though that the white tails we have here are damn good at jumping a six foot fence. No problem for them at all.

When I was a kid the house my family lived in was right up against what was called "open space". This was undeveloped land that the county had purchased to keep it fallow and undeveloped. We had trouble with deer jumping the back fence to eat my mother's roses. The solution that worked best was a pair of five to six foot high fences running parallel about five to ten feet apart. (I don't remember the exact distance anymore.) That was far enough apart that the deer couldn't jump both fences in one bound but close enough together that once a deer was between them it didn't have room to jump either fence. It wasn't a perfect solution, every once in a while a deer would get in, but it was pretty effective and didn't cost too much.

I thought it was New Zealand where the Men were Men, the Women were Men and the Sheep were Scared. Or was that Texas?

We tried that out at the farm several years ago and it did work pretty well. My friend actually caught one once in between the two fences and the result wasn't pretty. Took a while, but he was finally able to get the animal out through the gate but it was pretty cut up by then. It probably survived but we really don't know.

But, of course, the fence did nothing to keep the mice and voles out.

I heard, correction, overheard that Russians are really well hung

Is there any truth in that

hmmm.... I don't know, but it's unlikely Russian men would let you examine them to find out

Btw, why are you interested?

They never told us about Soviet phallus supremacy. Soviets are modest, you see. We weren't interested how small Western organs are
