High fencing a property should only be done after a landowner gives the prospect much thought and preparation.  While high fencing property is generally thought to be a method of keeping animals inside a property's boundaries, it is actually a tool to keep inferior animals out - especially whitetail deer. One of the most important considerations when making a decision about using a high fence for your property is the responsibiltiy of feeding the animals within the fence.  During a droughthy period, feed bills can run extremely high and can be quite expensive.  A high fence means the land owner is willing to accept responsibility to care for the game he is 'fencing in'.
