Now that is one hell of a good idea. I just might do that.

I am having trouble figuring how you need two miles to go around 10 acres... boxing in 10 square acres individually eats up about a mile and a half of fence...

I think not. Cattle guards are designed to stop walking animals, not running jumping animals. We have had several ornery cows that jump the cattle guard from time to time. You would have to make a real wide cattle guard, and then your just going to end up with a lot if injured deer. I have seen cows walk across cattle gaps. Most do not, but some learn to walk them.

I've heard of people making a deal with a local zoo to collect lion crap and spread it around.
Suppose to scare the deer.

It's not just the perimeter there is an easement running through and cross fencing. It's probably not two miles that was just a WAG. What is not a WAG is the two quotes I got each for about $29,000.00. If I can gate the road at both ends I can save about 2250' of fencing and five internal gates.

Drunk neighbors would have to pass through it, though. You ought to see the extent some city slickers damage their vehicles on bump gates...

A square 10 acres is 660'x660' total perimeter is 2640' You missed the part where I said individually... 208' to the side of a square acre leaves just over a mile and a half to go around ten of them separately...

The two miles includes perimeter and cross fencing. Total enclosed area will be about ten acres.
If you have 10 acres the perimeter fence is more or less 2600 feet. That works out to .5 miles. Where the heck is the other 1.5 miles of fence going?

There was something on their site about an extension for trucks.

Like I said there is a road easement through the center which means both sides of the road must be fenced (if no gates). That is a little over half a mile. The total property is 18 acres and also contains a winery, warehouse, tasting room and our residence. If it were a simple rectangle it would be simple.

Simple, build a bridge over the ROW, or a tunnel under it.

for someone who claims to be so flush with money $29,000.00 should be nothing......

Rivers actually do make pretty good fences. Until they freeze over....
Yesterday we spotted a dead cow out a sandbar/riverbank. Thought oh chit, WTF. Walked up to it and wasn't our cow. Got washed in when the ice went out.
Fish and Game has been on the river, probably thinks it ours. They can clean it up with the jet boat, that or the flies will get it.

Don't mind the deer in the winter. Nothing for them to eat.
Had the fence contractor out today and it looks like I'm going with a nice wrought iron auto entry gate and a bump gate on the other end. This will save over 2,000 feet of wire fence and give us an impressive entryway.
I always wanted to live in a gated community and soon we will.
