Trying to set up a little barrier using some 30lb mono. Might steer off deer, or at least let me know that someone has been close to the grow site. I think I tied a pretty decent knot when I went out there, but I'm not exactly a boyscout and would like to know what's the best method?
I use a version of the improved clinch knot though I'll bet a deer would whip right through that line, which might be a good thing for the deer's safety. Here's a site with that and other knots. http://www.backwoodssportsman.com/Fishing_Knots.html#improved_clinch_knot
The classic fishing knot. But yea, I tested out the line by seeing how far out it would stretch. The line snapped pretty easily, so a spooked deer would go right through it...
