Alberta: Bears - mainly attack hikers, campers and hunters. Electric fence recommended.
British Columbia: Cougars - Two-thirds of the Canadian fatalities occurred on Vancouver Island. 6 feet tall steel fence is recommended.
Manitoba: Bears and Wolves - Problematic in Winnepeg. Recommending electric fencing for bear management and 6 feet high metal fence for wolves.
New Brunswick: Moose - Drivers that hit a moose. Dept of Transportation folks need to install elk fencing or electric fencing along roads.
Newfoundland: Moose - Road hazards only.
Nova Scotia: Deer - They are everywhere from lawns and gardens to roadways. Install poly fencing that is 7.5-8' feet tall for deer management.
Ontario: Wolves - They will attack humans if they feel threatened. Build 6' feet tall steel fencing on properties to block jumping.
Quebec: Black Bear - Moose and deer are a serious threat; however, bears are the #1 threat. Build poly deer fencing for deer management or electric fencing if the bear issue is extreme.
Saskatchewan: Wolves - They most make their way from Ontario and Manitoba. Regardless, block them with 6' feet tall steel fencing.
Yukon: Wolves - If you haven't heard by now, just install 6 feet tall steel fencing.

The best defense for wildlife management is to install a wildlife fence. For deer management, a poly or steel fence that is at least 7.5' feet tall will suffice. For coyote/wolf/fox control, choose a 6' feet high metal fence with PVC-coating. And, to rid bears from landscapes, choose an electric fence.
