This has been discussed on this forum many times. Turnpikes have fencing, still see many deer hit. SP has been working on this, they have cleared trees back in a lot of areas, still working on more. They do cull deer (by gun). High fencing in one area will just move the crossing elsewhere, maybe push the crossings to slower portions? How many miles of fencing would be required to fence the whole complex? Pretty sure it is closer to 1,000 acres than 500 and I acre is a square mile. This is an issue and SP are fully aware of it, would be great if they could speed up the deer control, but they are also making significant improvements to the run off areas, berms, tyre walls. Someone got a $ million or so to donate and have their name put up?
