How do you keep your garden DEER proof and BEAR proof?

I have tried fencing in the area high enough that the deer cannot get to it. Had a yearling BEAR travel through my yard last year and he chowed down on my Strawberry plants. Which is natural for them before hibernation.

Hi Pmacdon30,
The only thing I could find for both deer and bears was hopefully a different type of fence. Click below to see if you think this will work. Wishing you the best.

no disrespect, but you are apparently in their habitat ... difficult at best .. just be safe, keep ALL !!! garbage/food products out of reach -- IN YOUR HOME until trash day; flashing lights, noise makers, motion activated sprinklers may be a TEMPORARY deterrent ....
Have you considered getting a couple dogs for your fenced yard? It would likely prevent the deer and bear wandering into the fenced area, especially if they are outside basically.
I agree with the dog method or have friends with dogs save the hair and spread that around the fences. Just stay safe with the bear.
get some geese they will sound the alarm whenever an intruder is near!
