Coons not looking so cute
I have had a fine solution to coons, opossums, skunks and deer, all a plague for me for years. It is called a "Red Snapper". 110 volts - the output voltage is way up there and the current safely down in the milliamps. Sold at Orchard Hardware for $31, although I don't see it there now. A little 3x5x2 box. Ground one terminal and string the other with a 16-gage bare copper wire around the area to be covered at a height of 10 inches for critters and 30 inches for deer. I use a double line for both. At turns and at the end, use a nylon fishing line to insulate it. Covers one mile. It hits real hard if you are bare-foot. Never a doubt.....

You dont have to test them that way anymore....there are light meters
designed for testing fences...heck even touching it with a blade of grass gives enough resistance to let you feel the pulses and not blow your socks off! lol Sean "Bruce" > wrote in message ... > > I have had a fine solution to coons, opossums, skunks and deer, all a plague > for me for years.

I have a buddy who has told me the story about a guy who unwittingly peed on
an electric fence, back when they were kids.
