| Maybe other deer have different habits and 
preferences, but our Central Texas Whitetails LOVE to rub their antlers against 
thorny species - that doesn't work!  Our small Prickly Ash is heavily 
damaged every year.  When you add the fact that most of these species grow 
slowly in this area, you inevitably wind up protecting the barrier for several 
years.  Faster-growing thorny species, such as Mesquites and Acacias are 
heavily browsed.  If you have to build a fence anyway, it doesn't make 
sense to plan a living barrier. E. E. "Mitch" Mitchamore www.hillcountrynatives.biz
