We are just too hard to get to in comparison to all the other bounty surrounding us, so the deer don't bother.

We do see the occasional racoon or rabbit - but with 5 dogs and 5 cats all pretty much free roaming within the space outlined above (our neighbors and us), they don't have much of a chance to do any damage before being chased off...

And the goats keep the hawks away from the chickens and the chickens keep most of the bugs under control.

We are just one big happy pest-controlling family!
Oh, ok, that makes a lot of sense now! 8 foot buffalo fencing will certainly do it! Lucky you!
And 5 dogs in the yard will keep away the other critters for sure.

In contrast, our kitties sit about on velvet cushions inside the house nibbling bon-bons all day. They don't 'do' rabbits or woodchucks or squirrels....
