I drew this up on paint last year and posted, some simple ways to funnel deer to a particular spot on a barb-wire fence. It should go without saying but, I will anyway so no waste their time posting, ya may not want to do this if the fence is holding cattle. 
Very good idea here. I am going to use this at my dads place in funnel.

Just don't have time to reply. Too shakey today. All I will say is this: A deer can jump a barbed wire fence anywhere they want to. Has nothing to do with fawns. Has mostly to do with danglies. All deer would rather go under a fence than over one. Pretty easy to figure out why.
And Bh-just because it has no outstanding features to you doesn't mean it has no outstanding features to a deer.
The question was mainly for you guys....as I said in the thread, I have discovered the reasons for the differences in movement, subtle as they may be.
Does don't have dangles...right? Why then would they walk the extra "mile" to cross where a fence is down or has a strand or two down and not just jump the fence wherever they come to it?
I hope you get to feeling better, I appreciate your opinions here.

BH- does do have danglies. Just a different variety. We create fence crossings by symply tying the top wire down on the Canadian property all the time. Takes about a week for the deer start using them.

I've got a property I hunt and the only two spots the old cattle fence is down is where all the action is!
