  7. Fencing Cost • Double 8 foot fence • $5.77/ linear foot (includes installation) • Solid Perimeter fence • Fabric- $2-3/ linear foot (material only) • 3 strands of electric fence • $0.78/ linear foot (material only) ITEM # 2.B.3., Scott Karel, Wildlife Regulations Policy Specialist

  8. Scientific Background • Research:  Video-surveillance to monitor fence contacts between wild and captive cervids • Findings/conclusions: • Less interactions with enhanced fencing • Some form of double fencing should reduce potential for direct and indirect transmission • Electric fencing provides a cost effective means to minimize contacts between wild and captive cervids ITEM # 2.B.3., Scott Karel, Wildlife Regulations Policy Specialist
