After fatting the deer up for the last couple of years with a couple thousand pumpkins, watermelon, cataloupe I have decide to fence about 3 acers with electric fence. Most likely two strands wire and 2-3 strands of bailing twine. May actually use two fences with one 3-4 foot inside the other. Deer have trouble judging depth and are not as apt to jump it. We took 4 deer during hunting season have about 20 more to go.
I have looked at these at TSC Tractor Supply Company - Electric Fence Solar-Powered Controllers and also looked at some at my local farm dealer. Prices for 6 volt 3 mile run $100.00 -$180.00. 12 vlot, 10 mile run around $350.
Anyone here have a solar powered electric fence? If so how do you like it, what suggestions do you have?
Also what about the charge controlers...are they really needed? Prices run $30.00 to $119.00.
I don't know much about electric fences, always used barbed wire and woven.
Thanks
David
