A very simple round bale fence involves setting a row of round bales vertically, then a round bale horizontally on top of each vertical one. Square straw bales are also effective, stacked to the proper height and with no gaps left for deer to slip through. Lay two other slabs across these, top and bottom. Nailed together and stood against the stack it becomes an effective, movable fence. Allowing and encouraging licensed hunters to hunt on your land during the regular open seasons can be useful.
Most hunters are willing to help out.
The options are only limited by imagination and a willingness to solve a potential problem. There are no quick fix solutions. Any option you choose will only be effective if it is built solidly, with no openings and is maintained by keeping up repairs and keeping snow from building up against the barrier. Compensation for deer damage to stored hay is available through a program administered by the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation. In order to qualify, efforts to prevent damage must be applied and maintained and reasonable hunter access allowed during legal hunting seasons.
