Good point. Well, I would go for feed too if a hungry deer. However, all
they can get to inside the fence is pasture (grass). We have all feed and
hay safely stored away from horses (and clients). Since deer prefer leaves
and stems, they do not jump for grass.

Hi Keith
Though that everything was BIGGER in Texas... Nest to me is a 1/4 horse
farm... there three grazing pastures, they have pulsing electric fence on
all three
the closest one is solar powered. and the insulated top wire is @ 66" ...
the Deer in my area don't even need a running start to clear them. At dawn
and dusk times
we see it regularly, not so much during hunting season. It's funny to
watch the Doe's teach the fawns how to jump over the fence. and have
witnessed them get Zapped. boy do that hop around then ! but the
experienced dose not seem to curb there appetite for the Horse feed !
