One thing with deck screws is that they are quite thin. You'd probably be better off using nails. Just get a good framing hammer and it's a breeze.

Also adding that if you think you'll be able to take a piece of fence off because you used screws rather than nails. That's being delusional. Screws will rust. You'll just shear off the head if you try to unscrew it. Which means you'll need to pry it apart just as you would with nails.
