Determine deer/wildlife fencing height guidance using a state wildlife agency's own published recommendation as the example.

Steps

1. Pull the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's published deer/elk fencing guidance directly (dfw.state.or.us) as a concrete state-agency example rather than relying on generic fencing-retailer height claims.
2. Note ODFW's guidance describes a general effective height range for exclusion fencing (roughly the mid-6-ft to 8-ft range depending on fence purpose/setting) rather than treating any single figure as a universal number.
3. Check for wildlife-friendly design features the agency recommends where fencing crosses non-target-wildlife habitat or migration corridors (e.g., visibility markers, smooth top wire, adequate ground clearance for smaller species to pass under) for rural or wildlife-corridor projects.
4. Confirm whether the target project's own state wildlife agency has published its own guidance before applying Oregon's specific figures to a project outside Oregon.
5. Distinguish deer-exclusion fencing (crop/garden protection) from wildlife-crossing mitigation fencing (funneling animals to safe crossings), since design goals and recommended heights differ between the two use cases.
