I dont think they like to jump unless pressured. There was a herd of bb on a low fence property for about 7 years and they never left. They had no hunting pressure or predators, so they stayed put.
I've shot at them with a gun and they still didn't jump the fence. I'm no expert but, I seen them stay put in a 4' chain link fence for years. There was a guy that kept a small herd in Cypress for years inside a short fence.
They walk fence lines. My buddy bought 2 bucks and 5 does and put them on his ranch with brand new fence all the way around. They managed to find a wash out and go under the fence. Neighbors now have black buck.
If you have holes in your fence they Will find a way out but for the most part they stay behind a low fence good. We have a bunch and they are all behind low fence. They love to walk the fence for the first week or so when you dump them in a new place. Put water in every corner in a bucket and some feed.
Thanks guys
Apron on most of the fence. But I see one problem area the fence builder has it off the ground.
Wish it was 8’ and we were discussing Axis. I’m not in love with tiny antelope.
